Graduation
Day was coming. The animals at school were excited! Even
Ms. Quill, their teacher, was about to pop when she announced
that everyone would get a balloon for graduation. Everyone
except the porcupines, that is. Isabel was crushed! She
wanted a balloon more than anything!
So
began her quest to prove that even the porcupines could
safely handle balloons. But, each attempt met with failure.
How could Isabel persuade Ms. Quill that graduation would
not be complete without balloons for everyone?
A
Balloon for Isabel is a perfectly
hysterical problem-solving story with adorable illustrations.
It will be one of the most popular books on your bookshelf!

"Betty
Bunny was a handful!"
Betty
Bunny
Loves Chocolate Cake
by Michael B. Kaplan
illustrated by Stéphane Jorish
Mockingbird Award Book
Betty
Bunny's mommy wanted her to be patient, but she had a hard
time being patient when she wanted something very bad. When
she tasted chocolate cake for the first time, she knew she
wanted it VERY BAD! It tasted much better than patience.
Betty Bunny dreamed of chocolate cake all day long at school.
She thought of it when she got home, and at dinnertime,
she got in trouble. Guess what her mother said she could
NOT have for dessert? But Betty Bunny had what she thought
was a better idea. Can chocolate cake teach Betty Bunny
how to be patient?
Betty
Bunny Loves Chocolate Cake will be one of your kids'
favorite stories! It might even make YOU hungry! The illustrations
are adorable and dialog is funny!

it with A
Balloon for Isabel and Betty

might replace chocolate cake in your students' hearts. It
