Chowder the bulldog, is a lovable character that works hard to fit in. In this adventure he has some problems that he tries to overcome. The children like this book because Chowder does not think he is a dog. After all, he likes to dig for fossils, use the computer and use the toilet!
How Pizza Came To Our Town is a story that challenges students to try to understand a time before pizza was readily available. In this story, the young characters greet a visitor, Mrs. Pellegrino, from Italy. They try very hard to make her happy but realize in the end that the only thing that can bring a smile to her face is when she is making pizza. It's fun to talk to the class about living in a world without pizza and how the children did their best to treat a guest properly.
The Boy With Square Eyes is a book I read to the class to remind them that over the summer they should not spend all their time in front of the TV and computer! The boy watched TV all the time and his eyes became square and his whole world looked pixelated, or square-ish. The cure was for him to play outside, read books and go to visit new places.
