The Beatrix Potter Treasury

Written & Illustrated by Beatrix Potter

Summary: This book is a collection of four of Beatrix Potter's most cherish stories. It includes The Tale of Peter Rabbit, The Tailor of Gloucester, The Tale of Tom Kitten, and The Tale of Pigling Bland. There is a mix of small, medium, and large watercolor illustrations throughout this book. They are as beautiful as ever with a shine from the page texture. As a note: The first two stories are shorter in length than the last two. The last two stories have sections of text that are much longer than the first two stories.

Review: These stories are treasured and easy to love with the beautiful pictures and exciting stories lines. This book is great for reading aloud and is sure to leave great memories in its path. I would encourage grades 1st-3rd to read out of this book on their own.

The Day the Crayons Quit

The Day the Crayons Quit Written by Drew Daywalt & Illustrated by Oliver Jeffers Overview: One day in class, a little boy named Duncan took out his crayons and found a stack of letters with his name on them. Each letter was written by one of his crayons. The red crayon, the pink crayon, the green crayon, and so on. Each crayon had written Duncan about he felt in regards to their overuse or underuse in his drawings or other issues that they felt needed to be addressed. When Duncan was finished reading all of the letters he tired to think of a way to appease all of his crayons and decided to draw and incredibly creative picture with all of his crayons. Duncan got an A+ on his drawing! This book takes a comical look at creativity from a crayon's perspective. This entertaining book can be read by 2nd graders and would make such fun read aloud for children.
