Ruby's Falling Leaves (Max and Ruby)
Grosset & Dunlap, 2007
a must have rosemarry wells
This is a great Max & Ruby story. It's particularly good for younger readers as it is short. It's somewhere in between the board books of max & ruby and the full-length classics like Bunny Money and Chocolate Chicken. It's perfect for a 2 or 3 yr old.

The Whistling Season
Ivan Doig
Harvest Books, 2007
Fantastic.
Growing up in Nebraska, small country schoolhouses were still around untill recently. I thought the storytelling writing style of Ivan Doig was fantastic, and he paints a vivid picture of the time through the eyes of a young boy. A great read.

Great for Teaching the Seasons
I recently purchased this book for my kindergartener to do a book project. He needed a book about the seasons, and this one fit perfectly. It simply illustrates and tells what happens to Arnold's apple tree around the year as each season passes.

Love this book
