The Melody

The Melody
by Oded Burla (Author), Assaf Benharroch (Illustrator), and Ilana Kurshan (Translator)
@ Amazon | IndieBound

Booktalk: A melody searches for a singer in this adaption of an ancient Jewish tale that ends with a mother singing a lullaby.

Snippet: The melody asked the crow, “Perhaps you could use a nice melody?”

The crow responded, “If I start to sing all night, they’ll think that I’m a nightingale! I don’t want to be something I’m not. I’m happy being a crow.”

Eggs from Red Hen Farm: Farm to Table with Mazes and Maps

Eggs from Red Hen Farm: Farm to Table with Mazes and Maps
by Monica Wellington (Author / Illustrator)
@ Amazon | Bookshop | IndieBound

Booktalk: Maps and mazes show children where their food comes from as Ruby and Ned gather eggs from their hens and ride their red truck to deliver the eggs–to the farmer’s market, the restaurant, the school, the grocery story, and the bakery. The baker uses the eggs in her yummiest cookies–and gives them to Ruby and Ned!

Snippet: “I’m good at counting money,” says Ned.
“You take care of business here,” says Ruby. “I’ll make the deliveries.”
