Summary:
Stretch: There's nothing like a good stretch before you jump or wiggle or bounce or run, and the ever energetic team of Doreen Cronin and Scott Menchin show kids (and their parents) how a good stretch can be good fun. Especially if you're stretching your imagination at the same time! Oliver's game: Oliver Hall loves baseball. He loves the ritual of helping out in his grandfather's store, Hall's Nostalgia, and he loves listening to Grandpa Hall's innumerable baseball stories. But one day, Oliver makes a startling discovery. It seems his grandfather has kept one very special story a secret: his own. With stunning black-and-white and sepia-tone illustrations and a heartwarming narrative, Matt Tavares portrays one man's lifelong love of the game, and the enduring legacy he passes on to his grandchild. The great shape-up: Amelia's brother, Jay, was a super athlete. Now he's a super couch-potato! Can she help him shape up in time for soccer tryouts? Sink or swim: Ralph the cow is trying to beat the scorching summer heat. What better way to cool off than to go swimming? But wait, cows can't swim... or can they? Ralph tackles this challenge with unsinkable optimism.
