"Take Four" PETER'S CHAIR

JENNIE'S HAT
 As Jennie anxiously anticipates the arrival of a very special hat from her favorite aunt, she imagines, "It'll be big, and flowery, and oh-so very beautiful". But when she opens the box, it's just a "plain" hat. Jennie struggles with disappointment, trying to find a better hat, until, through her loyalty to some unusual friends, she receives a most surprising gift. |
Fun Fact: Ezra was inspired to make this book by a very tiny picture, the size of a postage stamp, of an old couple feeding the pigeons who then came to rest on their shoulders and arms. You can see, almost anything can be used to make a wonderful book! |
