Dear Readers

Learning to Share





With so many milestones for young children to reach, it can be hard for parents to
remember what children should know and when. A survey by the nonprofit ZERO TO
THREE found that 43 percent of parents think a child should master sharing by age two,

when the skill actually develops between ages three and four.
In “Sharing at Camp” (pages 6–9), Indi and fellow camper Isabel struggle with this
practice. After you read this story, you might talk with your child about how Indi and
Isabel handle the situation and what self-management skills they use.
What is your family’s favorite sharing strategy?

We love to hear from you! Sincerely,, Dombrin

Fireworks Show







By Cara Krenn • Art by Amanda Enright


















Up they fly


and whistle and zoom,


fireworks burst


with a great big BOOM!






They sparkle and crackle

and fill the sky


with red, white, and blue—


Happy Fourth of July!

Sharing at Camp











Tex and Indi By Lissa Rovetch • Art by Amy Wummer











































































It was the first day of Draw-a-Doodle art camp, and


the campers were choosing materials for a project.


“I’m using these cardboard tubes,” said Tex.


“Cool,” said Indi. “I’ll use this green yarn.”








6 July 2019

“Hey,” said Isabel. “You took my yarn!”


“I did not,” said Indi.


“Yes you did,” said Isabel. “You took it.


Give it back!”

Indi tried to talk, but instead of words,


only tears came out.









July 2019 7

“OK, friends,” said Counselor Lindsey. “Let’s take a deep


breath and count to 10.”


The girls breathed deeply and counted.

“It sounds as if you both had the same idea about the


yarn,” said Lindsey. “Would you like to take turns with the


ball of yarn or each cut a piece to use?”









8 July 2019

“You can use the yarn first,” said Isabel. “I’ll hold


the ball for you.”


“OK,” said Indi. “Now we’re the yarn team!”

The Missing Cookies








By Helen Dent • Art by Rocco Baviera













































































One day, Tiger and Panda made curly cookies.


They set the cookies outside to cool and went into


the forest to play hide-and-seek.








20 July 2019

“Surely the cookies


are cool enough by

now,” said Tiger as he


found Panda for the


third time. “Let’s go


back to your house.”































But when they reached


Panda’s house, the cookies

were gone.


“Tiger,” said Panda, “did


you eat the cookies while I


was hiding?”

“Me?” said Tiger. “I didn’t


eat a crumb. You gobbled


them up, didn’t you?”


The friends glared at

each other.












July 2019 21

Just then, Sloth Bear ambled out from the


nearby trees. “Thanks for the cookies,” he said.


“What cookies?” asked Tiger.

“The ones you left here for the animals of


the forest,” said Sloth Bear. “Very nice of you.


Very tasty too.”









22 July 2019

Panda and Tiger began


to laugh.


“I’m sorry I thought


you ate all the cookies,”

said Tiger.


“I’m sorry I thought


YOU ate all of them,”


said Panda.


































“Let’s make some

more,” they said


together.


And that’s just


what they did.

Who’s Moving In?










By Ana Galán • Art by Roberta Angaramo









































































Bebo and Juan were playing outside when a large

truck parked in front of Juan’s apartment building.


“¡Mira ese camión!” said Juan.


“That’s a moving truck,” said Bebo. “I wonder


who’s moving in.”




26 July 2019

The movers started to unload boxes. One mover


carried a bicycle.


“¡Mira esa bicicleta!” said Juan.

“That bicycle is like mine. Maybe someone our age


is moving in,” said Bebo.







¡Mira ese camión! . . . esa bicicleta!


MEE-rah EH-seh kah-mee-OHN . . . EH-sah bee-see-KLEH-tah

Look at that truck! . . . that bicycle!



Spanish pronunciation by Linda Elman, Ph.D.



July 2019 27

Someone appeared carrying a big box. A ball fell off


the top and rolled toward Juan and Bebo.

“¡Mira esa pelota!” said Juan.


“Let’s give that ball back,” said Bebo. He picked it up,


and the two friends walked over.






¡Mira esa pelota! ¡Hola! ¡Bienvenida!


MEE-rah EH-sah peh-LOH-tah OH-lah beeyen-veh-NEE-dah

Look at that ball! Hello! Welcome!







28 July 2019

“¡Hola! ¡Bienvenida!”


said Juan.


“Hi! Welcome!” said


Bebo.

“Hi, I’m Gaby,” she


said. “Thanks for my


ball. Would you like


to play?”

































Bebo and Juan


helped her carry


boxes inside.

Then the three


new friends


played together


for the rest of

the afternoon.
