Margo is an imaginative, adventurous little girl who has just one problem - worry has found its way into her life. She sometimes feels nervous and uncomfortable, especially inside the wild world her imagination creates. Whenever her mom gives instructions, Margo's mind turns the everyday advice into worst-case scenarios. Mom tells Margo to be careful with the craft glue, and Margo imagines becoming stuck to all the furniture and decorations in her room. Mom advises Margo not to swing too high, and Margo envisions ending up on the roof.Monica Arnaldo's warm and inviting mixed-media artwork brings these flights of fancy to life, playing out Margo's fears and highlighting her expressive face. Luckily, Margo's mom comes up with an idea to ease her daughter's anxieties and encourage her inventive spirit in a positive way. Careful readers will pick up on subtle hints throughout the book before the secret is revealed: Margo's family adopts a pet dog! He's energetic, friendly, clumsy, and messy-just the outlet she needs to be distracted from her worries.LEVELINGGrade Range: PreK-3Fountas & Pinnell: KReading Recovery: 18Lexile: AD 570LCOMMON COREW.2.1,3,5,6,8RL.2.1,3,4,5,6,7,10L.2.1,1f,2,2c,3,4,4a,4b,5,6RF.2.3,3d,4,4a,4cSL.2.1,1a,1b,1c,2,3,4,6

Kyle has to go. There's just one problem: as a young three-toed sloth, he lives high in the rainforest canopy with his mom, and it's a LONG way down to the forest floor. Like other sloths, Kyle only goes down to the ground once a week when he has to do his "business.” And he's never made the journey by himself before.Kyle's mom says he's old enough to go alone, but Kyle isn't sure he's ready. It's so far! And won't it be lonely? Unfortunately, he doesn't have much time to decide.As he descends, Kyle's worries dissipate when he discovers he's not really alone. He encounters friendly neighbors like the red-spectacled parrot, whipsnake, tiger-legged monkey tree frog and leaf-cutting ant, all camouflaged in the canopy. With encouragement from his mom, he keeps moving - and makes it just in time.The book closes with two pages of informational text: one about three-toed sloths and the other about camouflage. Cut-paper collage art brings the rainforest canopy and all its many layers to life throughout this sweet, gently humorous story about new experiences and newfound independence.

"Between the beaver building branch by branch, the loon laughing on the lake, and the powerful, playful polar bear, Canada is home to a spectacular array of animals.

Fashion surrounds us . . . and some might even say overwhelms us. Whether it's shopping for clothes or getting dressed in the morning, it's easy to feel at odds with a world that seems to be all about appearances. But not only can fashion be fun, silly, impulsive, and even inexpensive -- it can also be a really rewarding avenue of self-expression for everyone. By starting with the most basic formula (clothes + art = fashion), "Learn To Speak Fashion" strips away the anxiety and artifice to get to the heart of what makes clothing so much more than what we put on our bodies. The lessons within these pages range from understanding how to dress every part of the body and how to make your own pair of pants, to learning how to harness your design ideas with an inspiration board, or hold a fashion show in your backyard.
