From the first orange glow on the water in the pond, to the last humans and animals running home from an evening rain shower, here is a day-in-the-life of a city park, and the playground within it. A rhythmic text and sweet, accessible images will immerse parents, toddlers, and young children in the summer season and the community within a park. Seasoned picture book readers may notice Emily Jenkins's classic inspirations for this book: Alvin Tresselt's Caldecott Medal-winning White Snow, Bright Snow, illustrated by Roger Duvoisin, and Charlotte Zolotow's The Park Book, illustrated by H. A. Rey.

Summer is the perfect time for a picnic -- and everyone knows that ants love a good picnic! Watermelon and corn on the cob -- yum! But when the sun starts to set, the ants must find their way home after a long afternoon in the park.

"Beautiful day!" "Not a cloud in the sky!" "A-picnicking we go!" When Picnic was first published in 1984, readers fell in love with Emily Arnold McCully's lush watercolors and charming story about a little mouse who is reunited with her family. Now the Caldecott artist has added words and painted bigger illustrations in her signature whimsical style to accommodate a larger-sized read-aloud book. But what has not changed is a timeless story about the hurt of being lost, and the joy of being found again.

Once in a while we are placed in the position of having to offer a gift. If we give it serious thought, it could become a very demanding task. The gift should represent the feelings of appreciation we have towards the person. If well chosen, it could become an indelible experience. In a special way, is an opportunity to contribute something of great value. My mother's ability to choose the proper gift became legendary. Simply by selecting something the person alone would have never done. Generally it was something of very little economic value, but certainly transcendental! What follows is a little story, about the subtle way a grandfather chose to contribute the most valuable aspect he could to his grandson's character.
