  • Nibbles...a strawberry tale

    Tracy Voorheis

    Perfect Paperback (Ithaca Press, May 1, 2007)
    Nibbles Rabbit, the heroine of Nibbles...A Strawberry Tale by Tracy Voorheis, wakes up hoping that today is the day... the day the strawberries will be ready in the garden. It s been a long, dark, cold spring, but finally the rain has stopped. Nibbles goes outside with her Mamma, hop, hop, hopping through the tall green grasses, under prickly bushes and over snapping sticks. On the edge of the big, wonderful garden, where rows and rows of delicious things to eat are growing, Nibbles stops and sniffs. There s a sweet smell in the air... If sunshine had a smell, it would smell like this. Nibbles jumps high in the air so she can see into the garden. And there they are... big, fat, juicy, red strawberries. Nibbles and Mamma eat some, and then Nibbles has a great idea. They can take some strawberries home, to squish into strawberry juice so they can have sunshine even on rainy days. Author Tracy Voorheis believes that reading to children and using children s literature to extend learning experiences is vital to stimulating dialogue about our world. It s also a great opportunity to snuggle, laugh and have fun. Beautifully illustrated by the author herself, Nibbles...A Strawberry Tale is the perfect book to read aloud to younger children. It may even inspire them and you to find ways of making sunshine for the rainy days.
