| Pobble's Way Written by Simon Van Booy Illustrated by Wendy Edelson |
Daddy and Pobble play the 'What Is It?' game as they stroll through the wooded park near their home
one evening. Daddy points to a stack of toadstools and Pobble says it's a bunch of baby umbrellas.
Daddy asks about a lily pad and Pobble calls it a butterfly boat. In Pobble's way of looking at things, a
feather is a tickle stick, and she promptly tickles Daddy. In the excitement that follows, something small
and pink and soft as a bunny's chin falls from Pobble's pocket.
Woodland animals gather around the Something and wonder, "What is it?"
"It's cotton candy," thinks Squirrel.
"It's a mouse-house," says Mouse.
"It's a wing warmer," insists Owl.
"It's a fish coat," announces Duck.
"It's a carrot carrier," decides Bunny.
"You're ALL wrong," explains Deer. "It's a mitten. Children wear them on their hands in the winter. This
one belongs to a little girl who is walking through the park with her Daddy at this very moment."
The animals scatter as Daddy and Pobble come back along the path. “What’s THAT, Pobble?!” Daddy
exclaims when he notices the mitten.
Pobble's reply makes everyone feel warm and cozy in this snuggly, perfect-for-bedtime story.
