The new baby is coming soon... but Monkey is NOT ready. Acclaimed author and illustrator Marc Brown offers a fun and reassuring story about becoming a big brother. Monkey is very nervous about the new baby. He likes being a little brother! Before the big arrival, Monkey must learn about what it means to be a big brother. Mommy, Daddy, and Brother show Monkey how to prepare for the baby: Monkey can share his old baby things with his new little sibling. He can go to the hospital with Mommy to feel the baby kicking! Monkey can even help Mommy pick out all of the things that the baby will need, and get her packed and ready for the hospital. Finally, Monkey is ready to be a big brother! Praise for Monkey: Not Ready for Kindergarten "Brown's hand-scrawled text and childlike pencil-and-gouache artwork give the impression that he's on Monkey's side--and that of readers--from the very first page, creating an eminently reassuring and empathetic resource for kindergarteners-to-be." - Publishers Weekly, Starred

Ben Says Goodbye
By Ellis, Sarah
When Ben's best friend Peter moves away, Ben decides that he will move, too -- into a "cave" under the kitchen table. Caveman Ben doesn't need any friends except his tame (stuffed) lion. He hunts for his food (thoughtfully left on a plate by Mom and Dad) and communicates in grunts. And in the safety of his cave he can imagine a world where friends control their own destinies and distance is no obstacle.Award-winning author-illustrator team Sarah Ellis and Kim La Fave have produced yet another book in which they gently guide Ben through an experience that is both familiar and daunting to preschoolers everywhere. Ellis' text deftly taps into the thoughts and feelings of a young child, while La Fave's endearing art captures both the depths of Ben's dismay and the warmth of the family members who support him through his crisis. Young readers and listeners will celebrate with Ben as, having been given the space to work through his difficult feelings, he emerges from his cave ready to rejoin his family and look forward to new friendships.
