Abstract:

Scaredy Squirrel makes a friend: Scaredy Squirrel is scared to make a friend. After all, they can bite. When he decides the perfect friend would be a goldfish - no teeth, his plan takes a surprising turn. In the end, he discovers that making the effort has its rewards.

One cool friend: When well-mannered Elliot reluctantly visits the aquarium with his distractible father, he politely asks whether he can have a penguin - then removes one from the penguin pool into his backpack. The fun of caring for a penguin in a New England Victorian house is followed by a surprise revelation by Elliot's father.

Lucky ducklings: A true story about a mama duck and her five ducklings that had to be rescued from the town storm drain during an early morning walk. How three fireman and a pickup truck rush to their rescue makes for vivid and exciting drama that children will return to over and over again.
