Book SynopsisBen is king of the jungle. He does exactly what he pleases, as a king should. And he has everything a king could want: noble steeds, castles, and servants. What Ben doesn’t have is a loyal subject. Then he meets Rhino…and finds out what being a good king is all about.Trade Review“The mixture of playful imagination and real-world setting (save for the anthropomorphic animal citizens) will help little readers draw out the parallels Ben and Rhino have to their own friendships. While not preachy, this is a useful text for examining what’s right and what’s wrong when it comes to play. A dynamic and affecting story about what it takes to maintain a friendship.” —Kirkus Reviews “Throughout, Sailer’s relatively formal text…contrasts amusingly with the energetic, vibrant cartoon illustrations, which, along with the lively animal cast, leavens the message of being considerate to others, including how giving and sharing—not demanding and taking—can be mutually enjoyable and rewarding.” —Booklist

Book SynopsisClover Kitty does NOT want to go to kittygarten! Although she might like a friend to play with, kittygarten feels overwhelming for a sensory-sensitive kitty like Clover. And when she arrives, it is exactly as she fears: her classroom is too loud, the lights are too bright, and everyone comes too close. So Clover throws a fit…and decides to quit kittygarten. But when a classmate comes to check on her, she begins to reconsider. Maybe it’s time for Clover to give kittygarten another chance.…Trade Review“Young readers will identify with Clover’s feelings about starting school or any new adventure…The watercolor illustrations have soft, inviting colors. A perfect story to share at the beginning of the school year.” —School Library Journal “Salas shapes a read-aloud that will spark conversation with first-timers who are sensitive to stimulus, while Nakata humorously conveys the resolute feline’s emotions in expressive watercolor images.” —Publishers Weekly “Sweet and soft watercolor illustrations show clothed kittens going through a typical (human) school day, with plenty of details and scenarios for young children to relate to. Clover’s experiences and school ‘armor’ helpfully explain the ups and downs of the first day of school or of going to school for the first time. A reassuring read to ward off the jitters.” —Booklist
