The Polar Bear's Gift By Jeanne Bushey
Illustrated by Vladyana Langer Krykorka
In the great frozen expanse of the high Arctic, Pani, a young Inuit girl, longs to be a great hunter of polar bears like her parents before her. But first, says Pani's grandmother, she must become a great fisher. The next day, Pani catches her first fish. Proud of this, Pani tells her friends that someday she will be a great hunter, too. But they mock her, saying only men can become great hunters.
Hurt by their jeers, Pani puts her hands over her ears and runs off. Before she knows it, she is far out on the polar ice, where she encounters the pale shape of a wounded polar bear cub. Now she must decide whether to hunt or help. "It's all right, Nanook," she says to the weakened cub. "I will take care of you."

Amos Learns To Talk:
The Story of a Little Duck
By Bianca Bradbury
Illustrated by Clare McKinley
AMOS was a little, yellow fuzzy duck. He lived in a coop in a barnyard. He lived with his brothers and sisters, who were little and yellow and fuzzy, too, and with his mother, who was white and very big. But Amos thought their “Quack-quack” voices sounded odd. One day Amos explored the farm. He met many different farm animals, who said, “Cluck-cluck, cheep-cheep, meow, pssst, and moo.” Their voices seemed stranger than his own. But when Amos got lost, even his mother’s loud “Quack-quacks” calling him home sounded good to him.

The Strongest Man This Side of Cremona Written and Illustrated by Georgia Graham
Matthew’s dad is the strongest man this side of Cremona. He can lift Matthew right over the barbed wire fences, and when he shouts at the cows, they jump. But one day they encounter something even stronger than Matthew’s dad – a tornado sweeping a path of destruction across the prairie landscape. Thanks to his dad’s quick thinking, Matthew and his family survive the tornado, but it has left their beautiful farm damaged almost beyond recognition. When friends and neighbors come to help clean up and rebuild, Matthew realizes that the love he and his father share is the strongest thing of all.

Algernon, the Puppy Who Wags His Tail Story by Miriam Dixon
Illustrated by Sharon Banigan
Algernon is a cute, little puppy. He lives in a house with his friends, a Small Boy and Priscilla the Kitten. Outside live his other friends, Lucifer the Duck, and Simon and Sally Sparrow. Usually, Algernon is a very happy puppy. But sometimes he doesn’t feel very happy – BECAUSE he can’t help wagging his tail even when there is no reason to wag it. When Lucifer annoys Algernon by shooting water and making rude noises at him, Algernon’s tail just wags and wags. When it’s bedtime and the Small Boy must go to sleep, Algernon wants to stay up and play. But Algernon trots off to bed, too, and his tail just wags and wags. When the Kitten and Sparrows tease Algernon and make him feel bad-tempered with them, his tail just wags and wags. But when the Small Boy gives Algernon treats and makes him happy … that’s when the little dog’s tail really wags and wags and wags!
