Books with title Boxter in My Backpack

Who said, "Everything you need to know, you learn in kindergarten"? Well, that's simply not so...and I have proof! I am sure I was much, much too old to be in kindergarten when I first met Boxter. However, I do know the look in his big brown eyes taught me that it is good to share, to care for, and love others. Each time I rubbed his warm, furry corduroy coat, I learned how to be kind, gentle, and unselfish. Even when he had to leave me, I learned that it's okay to feel sad sometimes. That's only a few of the gazillion things that Boxter taught me! Do you want to learn more? I'm sure you do. Come and join me in Boxter in My Backpack and More Little Light Adventures.

When Grandma sends her grandson a backpack, he can't wait to fill it with interesting things. His toy train fits just right. His bock and his big brother's baseball socks fit perfectly, too. And there's still room for more, including his teddy bear, his mother's keys, and the family cat! It's amazing what you can fit in a backpack if you really try. Eve Bunting's lively, rhyming picture book is perfect for reading aloud and is happily illustrated by Maryann Cocca-Leffler.
