“Pantaloon” is a Little Golden Book written by Kathryn Jackson and illustrated by Leonard Weisgard. This is the story of a bicycle-riding, hat-wearing Poodle with a sweet tooth. Pantaloon loves to eat cakes and cookies and believes he’s quite capable of making them. So when the baker in his town posts a “Help Wanted” sign, Pantaloon applies for the job. Will he be chosen to be the baker he has always dreamed of being? My Doodle, Hank (who looks an awful lot like Pantaloon), helped me with this deliciously fun read-aloud! Won’t you join us?
Who Do I See in the Mirror? was written by Vese Aghoghovbia Aladewolu and illustrated by Irene Omiunu. “As Philly looks at her reflection in the mirror, she realizes that from her curly hair to her legs that love to dance, she is unique. But what makes her truly special is her good heart and curious mind.” This beautiful picture book for young children focuses on self-esteem and the importance of loving oneself.
