Box Tales Grow. Strawberries. Grow!<\/em><\/strong> written and illustrated by James Burks I love this book, it\u2019s sooooo cute and funny! Bea and her best friend Box love strawberries. But when Bea\u2019s mom won\u2019t buy more because they\u2019re expensive, Bea and Box are determined to find a way to get more strawberries<\/strong>. Can they choke down the lima beans as a fair trade for strawberries? NO. That won\u2019t work. What if they grow their own? Maybe! They research at the library and have hilarious interactions as they read, learn from their neighbor, plant, wait, protect, and harvest. Because there are many unexpected problems with growing the plants\u2013 like WAITING and SQUIRRELS. An absolute delight to read.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n

Groucho The Grouchy Groundhog: Pancake Panic!<\/em><\/strong> written by Lydia Lukdis, illustrated by Tara J. Hannon FUNNY GRAPHIC NOVEL Adorable characters, hilarity from the first page, and charming art make this a stand-out, must-read early graphic novel for growing readers. Blork (a half pig, half unicorn) and her neighbor, Groucho, must stop the evil villain Commander Hare E. Bun Bun from stealing all the pancakes in Critter Creek.<\/strong> They devise a no-plan plan, which is slightly confusing, but they forge ahead anyway. Hijinks, misunderstandings, and mayhem ensue, and it doesn\u2019t look good for the pancake situation, especially when our heroes get captured. What will they do and how will they stop the villain?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n
