| Waiting by Kevin HenkesWhat it’s about: A group of toys -- an owl, a puppy, a pig, a bear, and a rabbit -- sit on a windowsill and wait. Some anxious for the weather to change, or for their human to arrive, while others contentedly abide in anticipation.
Why kids might like it: This contemplative slice of life depicts a truth that even the most squirrelly kids can recognize: sometimes, you just have to slow down, look around, and wait. |
