Kevin Henkes is a favorite of Ivy's, but I think I have read
Owen 15 times in the past few days. Owen owns a fuzzy yellow blanket that accompanies him everywhere, much to the dismay of his parents and their nosey neighbor, Mrs. Tweezers. As school rapidly approaches, Owen's parents try a myriad of ways (all suggested by the omniscient Mrs. Tweezers) to stop Owen from taking Fuzzy to school. In the end, perhaps Fuzzy can go to school after all thanks to some quick thinking done by mom! For anyone who has ever struggled growing up or giving up a favorite blankie...
If there is a book I have read more than
Owen recently, it is
Chrysanthemum. Chrysanthemum absolutely loves her name. She and her parents think it is perfect until...Chrysanthemum goes to school. Some of the other girl mice giggle and say her name is too long. After all, it does not even fit on a name tag! After a few discouraging days at school, the poor little mouse hates her name. Then, Mrs. Twinkle, the music teacher, arrives at school and dazzles the mice with her voice. Will she be able to turn things around for a poor, broken-hearted mouse?
