Going to the Zoo
What fun! With a rollicking beat, the reader accompanies a family on their trip to the zoo. The children describe each animal at the "zoo, zoo, zoo" as they go along. The illustrations are bright, lively, and very fun. The melody for the song is included so you can sing along with the story.


Bus Stop, Bus Go!


It is just another day for a group of children on a school bus, or is it? Ever wonder what happens when a child's pet gets loose on a school bus? This is just one of the many adventures that takes place on a busy school bus in this fun book. Rhyming text and bold colorful illustrations depict a variety of scenes such as children eating, reading, and trading cards. Kirk shows many actions through divided pages and a diverse group of active children. Children and adults alike are sure to enjoy the quick bursts of activity both inside and outside the bus.


Fireman Small

Readers will enjoy following the adventures of Fireman Small as he is called to save a cat in a tree, a bunny in a well and other animals, too. The lively rhyming text will hold children's attention as Fireman Small springs into action time and time again. Children can act out the motions when Fireman Small returns home each day and "closes the curtains, gets in bed and pulls the covers over his head." The bright and colorful illustrations work harmoniously with the text to create this fun read aloud.

Dragon's Fat Cat

Dragon rescues a fat cat out of the snow he isn't sure how to take care of her. She doesn't seem to like ketchup on ice cream for meals nor the box full of dirty rags and trash Dragon has made up for her as a litter box. And what exactly are those smelly yellow puddles? Just when Dragon thinks he knows what to do Cat has another "surprise" for him. Through bright watercolor illustrations Pilkey creates a hilarious story that any pet owner will love.
