Bink and Gollie

Bink and Gollie, Kate DiCamillo

How can you not like a pair of friends named Bink and Gollie? Brought to us by favorite author Kate DiCamillo, the two friends take off for amazing adventures and escapades. The text is simple, with lots of pictures to aid in comprehension. The chapters are short while still encompassing a good story within each. These are even good read alouds for a younger audience ready to launch into books that look more like chapter books vs picture books. Winner of the 2011 Theodor Suess Geisel Award. High interest, low vocabulary.

Yes! Day

Yes! Day, by Amy Krause Rosenthal

I had great hopes for this book, and it was as cute as I'd hoped.

A young boy and his family celebrate Yes! Day, the one day a year when the answer to anything is YES! This book taps into every child's desire to have, well, everything their heart desires. Our friend eats pizza for breakfast, pulls crazy pranks, and has a great day. At the end of the day the fun is over, but instead of being gloomy he looks forward to next year when Yes! day returns.
