In many places, schools may have a gym, library, computers, and a playground. Deep in the mountains, however, is an extraordinary school that is a little bit different. It does not have the items a typical school would have. It does have an amazing teacher who leads the class outside on a drawing adventure. What will they draw? Why dinosaurs of course!

THOUGHTS: A unique book about a drawing adventure! What student would not want to go outdoors to draw dinosaurs? A fun story that young dinosaur lovers will enjoy.

It is spring time, and Yasmin and her Baba are going to plant a garden! Yasmin is excited to plant all sorts of different items, from vegetables to flowers. After choosing her flower seeds, Yasmin is sure to provide her plant with lots of sunlight, water, and good soil. Her flower, however, is wilting! What can Yasmin do to help her flower grow?

THOUGHTS: The culture appreciation and information provided at the end of this book is fantastic. Yasmin is from Pakistan, and she explains that she is proud of her heritage and explains different information about her country!
