Stick
by Steven Breen
This book is mostly wordless. At the beginning we learn that Stick likes to do things on his own, without any help. What we also find out is that Stick is not very good at it. When he tries to jump in the water by himself, he does not see the turtle coming up out of the water. The turtle does not see him either, and Stick ends up jumping onto the turtle’s shell. Then one day at lunchtime, Stick tries to catch a yummy dragonfly, and he ends up with his tongue stuck to the dragonfly. Then the dragonfly carries him as it flies around. As they are flying along, Stick and the dragonfly face an alligator, a cat, a surprised lady, and a dog in a car. Then the dragonfly flies into the city, and Stick loses his hold on the dragonfly, only to land on the nose of a horse pulling a wagon. The horse throws Stick off of his nose, and Stick ends up stuck to some balloons this time, which surprises a few more people (and a dog). Stick finally gets loose from the balloons and lands on a car, then a motorcycle, a remote-control plane, and then a seagull. Will Stick ever be able to make it home to his mommy? Will Stick learn his lesson about asking for help? How about the one about trying to get something that is too big?

The Green Line: A Walk in the Park
by Polly Farquharson
One spring day a child and his mother take a walk in the park. As they go on this walk, there is a green line that goes from one picture of the things that they see on the walk to the next. There are beautiful flowers, some which are peeking out through a fence, and lots of really green grass. The child also talks about what they did at the park, such as rolling down a hill, and running away from a stick that looks like a snake. All the while, the green lines are following the child as the child goes. The child sees a ladybug, a dog, and a beetle hiding in a buttercup. Then it starts to rain, and the child and mother get under a tree to stay out of the rain. What other fun will the child have before the walk is over? Can you explain some of your trips by imaging pictures of what you did in your head with your own special line running through them?

Nibbles: A Green Tale
by Charlotte Middleton
Nibbles likes something even more than he likes to play soccer. He likes to eat dandelion leaves for every meal and as snacks. In fact, all of the guinea pigs in Dandeville like to eat (and drink) dandelion leaves. Then one day, the dandelions start to run out, and the only dandelion leaves to be found cost a lot of money on the Internet. The guinea pigs now have to eat cabbage, instead. Then Nibbles sees one dandelion growing outside his bedroom window. He really wants to eat it, but he knows that it might be the last dandelion plant ever. So he goes to the library and checks out a book about dandelions. He decides to take good care of the dandelion and help it grow, but watering it and protecting it from insects. Nibbles has to wait a long time, until the dandelion is ready. What do you think that Nibbles is going to do with his dandelion? What will he do about dandelion leaves in the future?

Lizette’s Green Sock
by Catharina Valckx
On a beautiful sunny day, Lizette decides to go for a walk. On her walk she finds one green sock, and she decides to wear the green sock. She continues on her walk until she sees Tim and Tom. They tease Lizette, because she is only wearing one sock. So Lizette decides to look for the other sock. Lizette climbs the tallest tree, but she cannot see the other sock from there. Then she decides to go look in the pond. Lizette asks Mr. Fish, but he has not seen a sock. When Lizette gets home, she is very upset. Her mother washes the sock and hangs it out on the line after telling Lizette that it is not good to wear socks she has found on the ground (they are dirty). Lizette waits for the sock to dry, but then her friend Bert comes by. Will Bert like her new sock? Will Liz find the other green sock? Will Lizette want to keep wearing her sock as a sock?
