Poor Bear! All he wants to do is sit
and read and think. But that’s not
what goose has in mind. Goose doesn’t
seem to be the reading kind. Goose
likes to talk. And as he talks and
talks and talks he lets his friend Bear
know that he likes everything Bear
does. This wonderful book about
friendship is lovingly illustrated with
soft, chalk-like illustrations which
draw the reading in. Bloom has
created, in this darling book, a truly
heart-warming tale of friendship. So,
take a moment and share this book with
your most special and splendid friend,
indeed!

Outstanding book. We are using it for the reading fair. It's read over and over at our house. My daughter might go trick or treating as "bad kitty"!

I Ain't Gonna Paint No More!
Karen Beaumont (2005) , under 40 pages
Illustrated by David Catrow
Audience: Preschool, Primary (k-3rd grade)
Category: Humor, NCCBA, Read Aloud, Realistic Fiction
(This book has outstanding illustrations)

When a young child gets caught by his
mother painting everything from floors
to doors, he is told that he cannot
paint any more. However the paint in
the top of the closet is too hard to
resist and the child is soon painting
himself from his head to his feet!
David Catrow does a beautiful job of
showing the bright colors that the
child uses not only to paint the house
but himself as well. Black and white
ink drawings cleverly show what has
not been painted yet. Children and
adults of all ages are going to enjoy
singing along with this witty
song/story.

I enjoyed reading this book out loud. I really liked how he painted his legs! The pictures are funny to look at. His chest was painted on with swirls. It was a good book.
