Ace the Very Important Pig
Audience: 3rd Grade - 5th Grade
|
Much to the amazement of the other barnyard animals, Farmer Tubbs' pig, Ace of Clubs, understands the language of human beings. Although his vocabulary is limited to a few snorts, squeals and grunts, he communicates quite well with Farmer Tubbs. As time goes by, Ace starts to act more like a person than a pig. After he visits the local pub, words of this remarkable pig spreads and Ace becomes a celebrity.

Albert
Audience: 1st Grade - 3rd Grade
|
Every day Albert stuck his hand out the window to check the weather before going outside. It was always too cold, too hot, too wet, too dry, and ultimately Albert never went out. One day Albert stuck his hand out the window as usual and something amazing happened! A cardinal built her nest there and couldn't be persuaded to move. As Albert helps care for the cardinal family -- and as the cardinals care for Albert -- he starts to find the outside world a much more appealing place.
