Winnie-the-Pooh and Friends

Written by A. A. Milne & Illustrated by Ernest H. Shepard

Summary: This book includes several stories. They are titled Pooh Goes Visiting, Eeyore Loses a Tail, Tigger Comes to the Forest, and Winnie-the-Pooh and Some Bees. The stories are roughly 15 pages long each and the illustrations that go with the text are various sizes. The illustrations themselves are colored and almost rough in regards to the style: they look more like sketches and are not as precise which make them interesting and different to look at compared to other children's books. With Pooh Bear and his friends of the forest, there are sure to be laughs and "Uh ohs" in the audience.

Review: I really enjoy reading these short Winnie-the-Pooh stories because they are fun and lighthearted stories. They can also be used to teach good lessons of what not to do in one of the character's situation or how to be a good friend. These stories would be great for reading aloud or 2nd-3rd graders would enjoy 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.
