Pippa and Percival, Pancake and Poppy: Four Peppy Puppies
by Deborah Diesen (Author) and Grace Zong (Illustrator)

Booktalk: A puppy named Poppy hears a rustling behind her fence and does what any curious puppy would–digs a hole under! There she finds another puppy! The puppies find two more floppy puppy friends and go on a galloping, gamboling adventure…until they catch a fright and go racing back to their loving homes.

Snippet:
A puppy named Poppy
Went out for a run,
Tumbling, rumbling,
Looking for fun.

She came to a fence.
She heard a big sound.
She dug a hole under,
And that’s when she found . . .

A Horse Named Jack
by Linda Vander Heyden (Author) and Petra Brown (Illustrator)

Booktalk: When Jack is bored, he unlatches his stall and goes for an adventure through the farm before escaping into the neighbor’s garden for a snack. Count up to ten and back down again in this rhyming story as Jack makes his way across the farm and then races home with the neighbor (and many others!) hot on his heels.

Snippet:
So Jack performs his favorite trick —
he lifts his latch with one soft click.

Two hinges creeeeak. Jack loves that sound!
He clip-clops out to look around.
