baking. They go to town to buy chickens to lay eggs for them instead. For a while,
everyone is happy: there are plenty of eggs to bake plenty of yummy things. But the
ladies' problems are far from solved, for the more time the chickens spend with the
ladies, the more they begin to act like them too, until eventually they stop laying eggs all
together. Now this is a problem indeed, but you can be sure, the clever ladies will find a
solution. Full of fun and silliness, this lighthearted tale and vibrant illustrations are a
delight.

Title: A sweet smell of roses

Author/Illustrator: Angela Johnson
Page: 32
Genre: Historical Fiction
Vocabulary: Equality, Freedom, Sneak, and March.
Illustrations: Black and white with Chalk drawing on it. The illustrations and the
metaphor in this story are huge and are what make the book so powerful. In the
illustrations, everything is black and white except for the ribbon on Minnie's bear,
and the colors of the United States flag. The cover of the book is what I thought
was the most powerful illustration throughout the whole thing because of the
holding of the hands symbolizing unity along with the crowd marching in the
background with the American flag that stands out because it is the only object that
is colored.
Summary: There's a sweet, sweet smell in the air as two young girls sneak out of
their house, down the street, and across town to where men and women are
gathered, ready to march for freedom and justice.

injustice, two Coretta Scott King Honorees, Angela Johnson and Eric Velasquez,

Title: Just like you

Publisher/ copyright Date: Hudson Street, New York, 2008
Page: 24
Genre: Fantasy
Illustrations: this picture book is drawing with chalk. These illustrations are
PERFECT for toddlers. PERFECT! The text, though, I think is more pitched to the
grown-up.
Summary: The book is narrated by the little bear, and is him telling his mother
what he wants to be when he grows up. These arent ambitions like wanting to be
an astronaut or a hunter, they are instead ambitions of the type of bear he wants to
be. A cub and an adult bear cuddle, hug, and explore the world while the cub
describes what he/she wants to be like when grown. There are very few words in
the book, but lots of admiration! All illustrations and words are gender-neutral.

Title: A Rainy Day
Author/Illustrator: Sandra Markle/ Cathy Johnson
Publisher/ copyright Date: Orchard Book, New York, 1993
Page: 32
Genre: Picture/Non fiction
Illustrations: Watercolor on it. This attractive picture book from two dedicated
naturalists gives scientifically accurate yet accessible answers to these and many
other basic rainy day questions--and it's fun. Full-color illustrations.
Summary: In this account of earth's water cycle--from cloud formation to rainfall

to evaporation back into the atmosphere--unconnected but familiar observations
plop down like unexpected drops. Hard rain breaks up the ground and forms
delicate rivulets. Rings appear in puddles. One water bead runs into another down
the windowpane, melding into a heavier drop. And when the sun shines through,
rainbow colors emerge. While the text is accurate and the watercolor illustrations
pleasantly evocative, their overall language and tone lack the discovery and awe of
rain-watching--``Materials such as plastic and rubber don't absorb water.'' (Also, so
much information crowds this picture book that it may ultimately overwhelm
younger readers.) Although many little ones might prefer their own rainy-day walk
or a private window rain-side, reading this book could re-establish small
discoveries and link them to larger scientific patterns.

thinks must be a mountain and sees the furniture section that he thinks must be a
palace. He tries to pull a button off the mattress, but he ends up falling off the bed
and knocking over a lamp. The night watchman hears the crash, finds Corduroy,
and puts him back on the shelf downstairs. The next morning, he finds that it's his
lucky day! A little girl buys him with money she saved in her piggy bank and takes
him home to her room. Corduroy decides that this must be home and that Lisa must
be his friend. Youngsters will never get tired of this toy-comes-alive tale with a

Illustrations: The author and the illustrator are Caucasian, one living in Australia
and the other from New Orleans. In the back of the book it states that Mem Fox
"travels frequently in her work", so she has seen a variety of lifestyles and she was
able to incorporate a lot of diversity in this book. The illustrator has very realistic
pictures, they depict each race well with the shades of the family, some family
members are darker than others and no two races are the same shade.
Summary: The main idea of the story is that everyone is the same on the inside,
even though you look different, or celebrate differently, every child is the same all
over the world. There isn't a main character because there is not a defined plot to
the book, but there is brown skinned male that occurs often in the book.

Title: The Foot Book
Publisher/ copyright Date: Random House, New York, 1968
Page: 24
Genre: Poetry
Illustrations: he illustrations also correspond with many of the comparisons.

Another lesson that could be taught from this book is all the different types of
people that children are going to meet in their lifetime.
Personal Response: "The Foot Book" is one of Dr. Seuss's books that doesn't have
much of a story line, but it does have many different meanings behind it and
lessons that can be taken away from it. For one, this book would be great when
teaching children about opposites. Throughout the whole book Dr. Seuss compares
opposites such as big foot, small foot and his foot, her foot.

Illustrations: Lots of fun. Loved all the different rhymes, they were cleverly
written with how simple and catchy they were, the illustrations were great as well
and perfectly depicted the absurdity of Sam-I-Am and No-name's back and forth
about the green eggs and ham.
Summary: Green Eggs and Ham is a short work of fiction by legendary kids book
author Dr. Seuss, in which a very persistent Sam-I-Am repeatedly asks his
unnamed friend, in a multiplicity of ways, whether his friend would
like ham accompanied by, of all things, green eggs.
