More Tales from Grimm (Fesler-Lampert Minnesota… door Wanda Gag

This anthology is wonderful to use as a read-aloud with grades 2 and 3. Students listened and identified elements of the story such as good and bad characters, the setting, the magic elements, the conflict, resolution, and the moral of the tale. Some of the stories such as "The Mouse, the Bird, and the Sausage." made students laugh. The illustrations are beautiful and really enhance the stories.

Millions of Cats door Wanda Gag

Very cute story, book doesn't fail when it promises millions of cats. Which cat will win the chance to live with the elderly couple? Will it be the cute white one? An enigmatic black one? Or maybe they will adopt them all?

A quick read that can be enjoyed in 15 minutes, go and find out!

Millions of Cats (Gift Edition) (Picture Puffin Books) door Wanda Gag

Lowkey funny at times and has a soothing little repeating phrase about the "hundreds of cats, thousands of cats, millions and billions and trillions of cats" that I think some readers will vibe with. The art is also nice in a stark, vintage-y way, and the cats look cute. But honestly the ending makes me sad and would have as a kid, too. :(
