Being a Pig is Nice: A Child's-Eye View of Manners
by Sally Lloyd-Jones
Illustrator: Dan Krall
AR 3.5
Being a well-mannered kid can be hard, right? So, maybe it would be better to be a snail, or a monkey, or even an elephant. As our character imagines herself in each of these roles instead, she realizes that each of them come with their own set of challenges. Until... she thinks of one more thing she could be and not have to worry about her manners. What do you think it is? And, will it work?

Genre: Folk Tale/AR 3.3
Caldecott Honor Book
Three soldiers returning from war are hoping to find a nice meal and a place to rest for the night. The villagers, however, do not intend to welcome the soldiers as their guests. When they claim to have no food or room in their houses, the soldiers devise a plan to trick the people to share what they have to make the stone soup. It was one of my favorite books to reread as a child. I hope you get a chance to read and enjoy it, too.
