Cue the music: For every bear that ever there was Will gather there for certain because Today’s the day the teddy bears have their picnic. That song brings back memories of my mom or aunt who used to sing it. So, I’m sure they’d agree that today’s book is the perfect one to read on this holiday:
This story opens by introducing Freddy, Jonah’s favorite toy. No one knows quite what Freddy is, but what he isn’t is a teddy bear. So, when Jonah’s teacher announces the class is having a Teddy Bear Picnic, Jonah struggles with what to do. Disguise Freddy? Hide Freddy? Bring a teddy? Young readers will relate to Jonah’s love for his stuffy, his desire for inclusion, and his struggle to find a way to fit in. They’ll also delight in how Jonah stands up for himself and Freddy, and how he finds his way to a heartwarming resolution. Kristen Schroeder’s gentle story of empathy, acceptance, and appreciation for others is perfectly paired with Hilary Jean Tapper’s soft color palette illustrations. Lots of love and a heartfelt recommendation goes out to FREDDY THE NOT-TEDDY!

Now THIS is a month to celebrate! I love ice cream, so I’m all for celebrating this holiday by eating a lot of it. And what goes better with ice cream than a picture book about two very famous people in the world of ice cream:
Mmmm—ice cream! What a brilliant topic for a picture book! I can’t think of a much better one. This is a fun, informative, nonfiction book about the famous creators of the wacky-flavor ice cream empire known as Ben & Jerry’s. Readers will love learning how Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield came together to create a legendary and delicious empire, and they’ll appreciate how the founders of Ben & Jerry’s used teamwork, determination, and learned from their failures to become a success. Stacy Innerst’s bright, whimsical illustrations pair with Lisa Robinson’s fun and informative text as perfectly as chocolate chips pair with cookie dough. I hope you love THE SWEETEST SCOOP as much as a scoop of Half Baked or Cherry Garcia!
