"Pete the Cat and the Cool Cat Boogie" would be great for a beginning level dance class.  It would address how dance is expressed in different forms by different people and most importantly to be yourself and not give up.

I would use this book with  young patrons but focusing on kindergarten students.  The book would help young children to not fear adventure and not shy away from making friends.

I would use this book with younger patrons through first grade. It is a great book to support a young child's dream and never to give up on them.]]> 2019-01-21 21:20:34 UTC https://padlet.com/tiggersig/tyhldjisf1si/wish/322788398 tiggersig https://padlet.com/tiggersig/tyhldjisf1si/wish/322789213 Penelope the dinosaur is excited for her first day of school.  Throughout the school day she has a hard time making friends.  Then at lunch, she makes that task even more difficult when she eats her classmates.  Penelope's teacher scolds her and tells her that "we don't eat our classmates."  Of course this only makes becoming friends with her classmates even more difficult as they are afraid of her.  

This is another book that would be great with preschool and kindergarten classes.  It helps to address that all children are alike inside (multicultural class room) and supports the adage "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you."

This book would be great with a young girl's birthday party at the library or if celebrated at school (up to third grade). Juno's journey reinforces that young girls can grow up to be anything that their heart desires and teaches them about historical figures behind some fancy shoes. It also shows young girls that they can make their own magic with their shoes.]]> 2019-01-21 21:36:41 UTC https://padlet.com/tiggersig/tyhldjisf1si/wish/322790683 tiggersig https://padlet.com/tiggersig/tyhldjisf1si/wish/322791885 Unicorns need sunshine and rainbows for magic and unfortunately it is raining on the island of unicorns.  Uni believes in little girls and therefore is still filled with  magic.  Meanwhile, a little girl sees the rain and knows she is needed in the island of unicorns.  

This book would be great with patrons in the second great. It too focuses on not giving up on dreams but most importantly, the importance of working together. Through working together, you can accomplish a lot. ]]> 2019-01-21 21:45:53 UTC https://padlet.com/tiggersig/tyhldjisf1si/wish/322791885
