If You’re Not from the Prairie |
| Description: |
In this richly illustrated poem, a young boy and his dog play through every season on farmlands, prairie fields and country roads. He and his friends have a snowball fight in front of a large country house and board the school bus in a winter blizzard. The child walks in a creek bed in solitude and down the road beside his dad. The book affectionately shows farm life on flatland, wherever the land is. |

The Important Book |
| Description: |
The important thing about The Important Book is that you let your child tell you what is important about the sun and the moon and the wind and the rain and a bug and a bee and a chair and a table and a pencil and a bear and a rainbow and a cat (if he wants to). For the important thing about The Important Book is that the book goes on long after it is closed. |
