Stumpkin c) 2018 Lucy Ruth Cummins; Stumpkin is the
proverbial “runt of the litter”. He takes rejection upon rejection until he
wins out from being the last pumpkin standing. This is a sweet book with a
triumphant ending. (It is similar to stories where there is one last toy or one
last puppy, etc.) And it is great paired with The Ugly Pumpkin c) 2005
by Dave Horowitz.
If Picasso
Painted a Snowman c) 2017 by
Amy Newbold. This book introduces the reader to the art forms of many famous
artists such as Pablo Picasso from the title. A few others reflected are
Vincent Van Gogh, Jackson Pollack, Claude Monet, and Georgia O’Keefe. The
thread is what would that artist’s take on a snowman potentially look like? It
is a great premise, an engaging book, and creates lots of room for terrific
conversation and learning.
