This Week’s Theme:  Fun Food Stories

In Blueberries for Sal by Robert McCloskey, a little girl on a blueberry-picking trip loses track of her mother meets an unexpected creature!  Before you read, learn the word of the day, tremendous- very large or great.

Some of the foods we eat grow in the wild, while others grow in gardens.

The tomatoes you grow in your garden can be used for all sorts of delicious foods, like salads, and pasta, and tacos. This book has dancing tacos.  And dragons.  And accordion-music taco parties.  It's going to be awesome.  Enjoy reading Dragons Love Tacos by Adam Rubin.

A little boy and his pet frog get ready to go to dinner at a very fancy restaurant.  What do you think will happen?  Watch Frog Goes to Dinner to find out.  Based on a wordless picture book by Mercer Mayer.
