A funny, offbeat story about how disruptive change can be - even if
it's a holiday! Early one morning, a strange visitor arrives - a
visitor whose name is Holiday. "I'll be taking over for you today!"
Holiday tells Monday. And before long, Holiday has met the other
days, even Saturday and Sunday, who usually sleep all week. With
each introduction, Monday becomes more and more upset. She is used
to starting the week, and she'd like to keep it that way. When
Holiday announces how much fun he's having, and that he'd like to
stay, Wednesday and Friday admit that they are a little worried,
too. Meanwhile, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday are completely
smitten by this exciting new day. Finally, Monday (with Wednesday
and Friday in tow), asks Holiday to kindly pack his things and go.
Then just in time, Tuesday comes up with a solution that will work
for everyone. Natalie Nelson's ingenious characterizations of the
days of the week will delight readers young and old, as will her
story that pokes fun at how set in our ways we can be and how we
might instead choose to be open to change and embrace the
unexpected. Key Text Features speech bubbles illustrations labels

One little girl has a very special friend, the tall ancient tree in
her backyard. Through the seasons, she grows along with the tree,
playing in its branches and basking in its shade. She can swing and
have a picnic, draw the tree and play hide and go seek. Through her
time with her tree, the girl learns to appreciate the natural world
as something to be savored and protected and acknowledges her place
within it. The Growing Hearts series celebrates the milestones of a
toddler's emotional development, from conquering fears and
expressing feelings to welcoming a new sibling.
When you wake up in the morning, have you ever said to yourself,
"Just one more second"? After Nick's alarm goes off, he thinks
about where he and his friends will play for the day. But there
seems to be a downside to every idea. Some ideas later, Nick finds
himself still in bed, wishing for just one more second of sleep.
This is a funny story about a sleepy badger who struggles to get
out of bed.
