Rosie's Fishing Trip - By Amy Hest

A warm story that celebrates the beauty of spending time with Grampa. This sort of tender children's book is definitely a rare find!  Rosie and her Grampa wake up early, share muffins and chocolate milk, go fishing, write a poem together, and return home to tell Mama all about it.  A wonderful tool for showing today's children that there is much more to life than playing video games and watching television!  The soft illustrations are priceless.

When Uncle Took The Fiddle - By Libba Moore Gray

Everyone in the house is just too TIRED . . . That is, until Uncle starts to play his fiddle! Toes tap, hands clap, and soon even the neighbors are playing instruments and joining in some country dancing. Pastel pictures and lots of sound words bring the reader right into the middle of it all! This would be a fun book to share during music class.
