Our Flag by Carl Memling
There are no depictions of people of color. The only reference to Indigenous Americans and Asian Americans was by depicting a man in a ceremonial headdress on a horse and laborers building the railroad.
Good ol' Dennis the Menace! How could you not love this blonde haired cute kid...even if he is a tad on the mischievous side? In this book Dennis learns that adults don't like it when dogs don't behave and soon he is faced with the fact that his new best friend Ruff, may be sent away by his parents if he continues to be naughty. Dennis takes it upon himself to "help" Ruff be good and helpful. His plans don't really go according to his thoughts and soon Ruff is one bad action away from leaving forever. Can Dennis make sure his best friend is not sent away? Will he and Ruff learn to behave?
This is such a cute story of a boy and his dog. I actually found this book in a pile of my husbands childhood books. I love Dennis the Menace, so reading this book was so exciting for me. The pictures are so vibrant and colorful! The words are easy for young reader, but engaging for the older readers too. It's an all around cute story with some good lessons in it too. Such a great read for all ages! A must read oldie but goodie!!!
5/5 Stars!!… (more)

A tale of growing up and learning responsibility as we watch Little Cottontail going through the process that will eventually lead him to become Big Cottontail. A great favorite with children and adults that after a reading session leaves one with a smile and a happy sigh.
I really liked this book. The little rabbit just wanted to be grown up, and his mother kept telling him no, no until he proved to her that he could take care of himself. In the end, he ended up telling his mom that a fox was coming and this was his test (and he passed). After this, Little Cottontail's mother said yes, you are grown up now. Have your class make a list of things grown ups do.
