This sweet little book engages the imaginations of little ones who have wondered what it might be like to be something else, even if only for just one day. The simple, almost sing-song quality of the story leads the reader through hints as to what the author is wishing they could be, only to find out by turning to the next page. Super fun for kids and parents! One of my son's favorite.

Waiting by Kevin Henkes 

From the Caldecott Medalist author, Keven Hankes, comes this heartwarming story about five toy friends who spend their day....waiting.

 Waiting for the moon, waiting for snow, waiting for the wind, waiting for the rain, and just waiting for nothing in particular to happen. An owl, a dog, a bear, a pig and a rabbit sit in a window sill each day watching the world outside. On some days, the thing they wait for comes and they are happy, and other days well.... they just wait. 

With a simple text and soft illustrations, children will learn about patience and that an imagination can help the time pass. These five friends don't mind waiting, but I urge you not to. Don't wait to reading Waiting!
