Second grade? Pfff! No, thanks. The comically anxious narrator in this book thought that first grade had its problems, but overall it was pretty awesome. He'll take grade one over grade two any day, thank you very much! Especially because he and Tyler, his best friend, will not be in the same class this school year. On top of that, Tyler's sisters have been feeding the boys a steady stream of rumors about the horrors of second grade. Luckily they catch on that just maybe some of those stories are not one hundred percent true. Could it be that second grade is not so bad? Find out in this laugh-out-loud story that has more than its fair share of heart.

*to be read as though you have the worst cold ever
Little Louie has a cold, and everything feels wrong. His nose is stuffed, his ears are crackly, and what he wants most is Mom.
But when Louie calls for her, his clogged-up voice makes Mom sound like Bob. And Bob is not Mom. Bob is the family dog, ready with slobber, wiggles, and a whole lot of not-helpful help.
This funny picture book turns a miserable sick day into a read-aloud comedy of mix-ups, repetition, and perfectly timed silliness. With its warm family setting and laugh-out-loud misunderstanding, Bob, Not Bob! is just right for kids who know that being sick can make you feel small, grumpy, and very ready to be understood.

Room 109 does not have a fluffy hamster, a chirping bird, or a lizard with a dramatic stare. Arlo’s classroom has a plant. A green, quiet, not-very-exciting plant.
At least, that is how it seems at first. When Arlo gives the plant a name, Jerry becomes something the whole class can care about. Watering, watching, waiting, and wondering turn into a shared classroom adventure as Jerry begins to grow in ways the students did not expect.
Funny, warm, and full of school-day charm, The World’s Best Class Plant is a picture book about responsibility, patience, and discovering that living things do not have to wiggle or squeak to become wonderfully important.

(That's a Lot of Time) (No, It's Not) (Yes, It Is)
Five minutes can feel like forever. Five minutes can disappear in a flash. It all depends on what you are doing.
Follow one busy boy through a day full of tiny stretches of time: waiting at the dentist, standing in line, sitting in the car, playing a favorite game, riding something thrilling, and squeezing in a little more reading before bed. The same five minutes keeps changing, depending on whether it is boring, exciting, uncomfortable, or cozy.
Clever, funny, and easy to recognize, Five Minutes turns a familiar family phrase into a playful look at how time feels. It is a smart read-aloud for children learning patience, routines, and the funny way minutes can stretch or shrink.
