If Beaver Had a Fever
Publisher: Marshall Cavendish
Scheduled Released: Fall 2011
Illustrator: Kevin O’Malley
Excerpt:
“Mama Bear, Mama Bear!”
“Yes, Little Bear?”
“If you were a doctor
In charge of the zoo
What would you do
If Gnu had the flu?
“If Gnu came to my office
with aches and a chill,
I’d bake him a cake
Chock full of pills.”
Little Bear wonders about what would happen if his animal friends get sick and Mama Bear was taking care of them. She give him silly answers, but then Little Bear asks,
“But Mama Bear, Mama Bear,
How would you be
If you were the doctor
And the sick one were me?”
“Oh! Now that would be different. Let’s see…”
And Mama Bear gives Little Bear reassurance that if he were to get sick, she would take loving care of him until he is well.
“So if my Little Bear’s sick
There’s nothing to fear.
Whatever goes wrong,
Your Mama Bear’s here.”
Señorita Gordita
Publisher: Albert Whitman
Scheduled Released: Fall 2012
Illustrator: Will Terry
Excerpt:
“Araña (spider) wiggled her legs as she set the gordita on a paper towel to drain. “You’re one tasty-looking gordita! I’m in for a treat.”
But that gordita hopped up. “Oh no, Araña! I’m one fast gordita! You can’t catch me!” And with a flip and a skip and and a zip-zoom-zip, the gordita raced out the door.
“Señorita Gordita! Come back!” called Araña, chasing after her.
But Señorita Gordita zipped through the desert till she came to a creosote bush.
Lagarto (lizard) was resting underneath. He opened one eye. “Hola, Señorita Gordita!” Come share my shade,” he said. “You look delicious…I mean, hot.”
Señorita Gordita jumped aside. “Oh no, amigo! I ran from Araña so fast, I left her spinning. I’ll run away from you, too. I’m putting the pedal to the metal. Adiós, Lagarto!” And with a flip and a skip, and a zip-zoom-zip, off she ran. Lagarto skittered after her.”
