The boys' school library has lots of good books about other cultures-though we are learning to take things that we read with a grain of salt-some of the homes don't look like homes in the entire country and the same with the costumes-many were either native or festival costumes not what people wear every day.
Jon Agee wrote a book called Mr. Putney's quacking dog that Grammy gave to Ryan. His books are VERY funny. These 2 are about a child who moves to a retirement community but decides it is not the place for him and a magician who has a bear instead of a rabbit in his hat.
This one was one of Ashley's favorite for us to sing-it is a song about animals coming to the library for storytime and the whole book is written to be sung to the tune of "She'll be comin' round the mountain"
The moose in this book does not want to wait his turn to be in the book and then a mouse is chosen instead. He is very sad so he gets to be in at the end as "Zebra's friend, Moose"
I believe these are the hens that are on the farm with Minerva Louise who is a crazy hen with a series of her own books-she wears people clothes and does all kind of other odd things-these hens want to go for a ride in the back of the farmer's red truck but they are scared.
