Crafty Chloe & Gilbert the Goldfish Wants a Pet

Now, that the South Carolina Book Awards season is over, we are having some fun read alouds of new picture books. Earlier this year I shared Gaston by Kelly DiPucchio with our students. Great dog story - always a favorite!



When I ordered new books I made sure to order more DiPucchio picture books, including: Crafty Chloe, Crafty Chloe: Dress-Up Mess-Up, and Gilbert Goldfish Wants a Pet. This week K4-2nd grade students have enjoyed these new books and crafty library centers. Bob Shea is the illustrator of Gilbert the Goldfish (check out the book trailer below) and we realized hat he is also the author/illustrator of another favorite new book, Unicorn Thinks He's So Great.
