Beat the Heat This Summer With A ‘Cool’ Selection Of Reading!

By Selene Vasquez

PICTURE BOOKS: AGES 5 THRU 8
A Perfect Day
by Remy Charlip
Harper Collins, unpaged, $16.99


“Cuddle up upon my lap./ Close your eyes and take a nap.” Sometimes a perfect day consists of doing ordinary activities - going for a walk, watching the clouds, and reading books - with somebody you love. A palette of soft pastel colors foster the comforting atmosphere of parent and child bonding.

PICTURE BOOKS: AGES 6 THRU 10

Froggy Plays T-Ball
by Jonathan London
Illustrated by Frank Remkiewicz
Viking, unpaged, $15.99


Froggy’s first game of T-ball is a flop. His lack of coordination and comprehension (“home run” doesn’t mean running home) is typical froggy! In vibrant colors of orange and green, Froggy’s escapades have a natural exuberance that’s hilarious and infectious.

NONFICTION: AGES 5 THRU 8
The Edible Pyramid: Good Eating Every Day
by Loreen Leedy
Holiday House, unpaged, $17.95


Reflecting the new recommendations offered by the USDA in its 2005 My Pyramid food guide, this timely new edition offers up a heightened awareness of the need for healthier diets and increased exercise to combat childhood obesity. Information presented comprehensively for young readers.

POETRY: AGES 5 THRU 8
Over in the Jungle: A Rain forest Rhyme
by Marianne Berkes
Illustrated by Jeanette Canyon
CIP, unpaged, $16.95


Unusual fauna of the rain forest -honey bears, parrots, leaf cutter ants, etc. - presented in a lively variation of the familiar song. Colorful illustrations made with polymer clay and photographed afterwards, gives them a three-dimensional look.

Selene Vasquez is a media specialist at Orange Brook Elementary School in Hollywood, FL.
