Clifford Cares
By Norman Bridwell
Clifford the Big Red Dog is back in this little board book, and Emily Elizabeth shares with us all of the things that Clifford cares about. Clifford cares about his family, and he helps them cross the street safely. Clifford cares about his neighbors by helping them paint their house. Clifford is good at getting the really high spots. Clifford cares about other animals, and he helps Emily Elizabeth feed the birds and squirrels at the park. He also makes sure that other dogs have bones, cats have some milk, and even that little mice get some nice cheese. Do you think everyone appreciates the way that Clifford cares about them? Who are some of the people and animals that you care about?

I Want My Hat Back
by Job Klassen
A bear realizes that he has lost his hat, and he wants to find it. First, the bear asks the fox if he has seen his hat, but the fox has not. The bear thanks the fox and moves on. Next, the bear asks a frog if he has seen his hat, but the frog has not. The bear thanks the frog and continues on. Next, the bear asks a rabbit with a red hat on his head if he has seen his hat. The rabbit says he has not and tells the bear that he would not steal a hat. The bear thanks the rabbit and continues on. Then the bear meets a turtle and asks if the turtle has seen the hat. The turtle tells the bear that he has been trying to climb the rock and has not seen anything. The bear helps the turtle onto the rock and continues on. The next animal he asks about his hat is the snake. The snake says that he say a blue hat, but the bear’s hat is not blue. After asking one more animal about his hat, the bear lies down and worries what he will do without his hat. A deer walks up and asks bear what is wrong. Then he asks the bear what his hat looked like? Will telling the deer help the bear remember where he had seen his hat? What does the bear tell the squirrel when the squirrel comes looking for the rabbit?
