Something on the drawing board. It’s fun to take a pic and distort it!

What to expect: Friendship, Snow
Recognizable to many as the illustrator of Jack London’s Froggy series, Frank Remkiewicz has developed a new early reader series staring a sweet natured rhinoceros named Gus.
Gus wants to go outside and play when he peers out the window and sees snow. His parents are both busy, so Gus uses initiative and builds himself a snowman named Snow Boy. The happy colored cartoon illustrations really help to bring the story to life—Gus is almost always smiling and all of the characters ooze a joy that subliminally encourages new readers to read on. The sentence structures are simple and short —the longest sentence is comprised of five words—yet, in Gus Makes a Friend, Remkiewicz still manages to pack entertainment into the large and easy-to-read text. Published by Scholastic as a level Pre 1 “First Reader,” “Gus” books are a great choice for preschoolers and kindergartners.
