Coming into this I do know who [a:James Daugherty 5959003 James Daugherty http://www.goodreads.com/assets/nophoto/nophoto-M-50x66-e07624dc012f2cce49c7d9aa6500c6c0.jpg] is because of a new 2013 book [b:Lincoln's Gettysburg Address 16183486 Lincoln's Gettysburg Address James Henry Daugherty http://d.gr-assets.com/books/1355833471s/16183486.jpg 22093184]. It was neat knowing how amazing those illustrations are to be able to come back to this Caldecott winner book with it's whimsical two-tone illustrations. This is my favorite part of the Memoria Press Junior Kindergarten curriculum in the book selections and questions with vocabulary to discuss during and after reading a class treasure. Both girls are actually fighting over this one to “read” alone and it even was involved in nap time. We read it again today as well as yesterday and I'm sure it will be read again tomorrow.I purchased this one to go along with our curriculum for Memoria Press Junior Kindergarten.
