When Daddy
Feeds the Baby
By Marcy Campbell • Art by Josh Cleland
When Daddy feeds the baby,
I snuggle in real close.
He says that it’s a special time,
the time he loves the most.
When Daddy feeds the baby,
we do all sorts of things.
We talk and talk. We share a snack.
And sometimes, we will sing:
“Oh, hungry little baby,
with tiny little feet,
your tummy isn’t tiny—
you eat and eat and eat!”

Thank the Worms
By Lissa Rovetch • Art by Amy Wummer
Tex and Indi
Tex and Indi were helping Mrs. Lee, their neighbor,
in her garden.
“Wow, I just found a big worm,” said Indi. “Should
I put it in the grass?”
6 June 2019
“No need,” said Mrs. Lee. “Happy worms mean
happy gardens!”
“Really?” asked Indi.
“Really and truly,” said Mrs. Lee. “And do you know
what makes a worm extra happy?”
“A worm friend to play with?” asked Tex.
“Well, yes.” Mrs. Lee laughed. “And also,
food scraps.”
June 2019 7
“You can put the apples we ate earlier into the compost
bin,” said Mrs. Lee.
Tex and Indi tossed their apple cores inside.
“The worms eat the raw fruits and veggies and dead
leaves and help make compost,” Mrs. Lee explained.
“Compost is dark soil that has good food for plants.
It helps my flowers grow big and beautiful.”
8 June 2019
At the end of the day, Mrs. Lee sent Tex and Indi home with
a surprise.
“Wow!” said Mom. “Thank you for these fantastic flowers.”
“You shouldn’t thank us,” said Indi.
“Right.” Tex grinned. “You should thank the worms.”

Piggies All Day

Open the gate and out they fly.

Three jolly piggies land with a thud,

Piggies must rest so they can play another day.

Not the Same
By Alyson Greene • Art by Marta Álvarez
Callie helped her dad roll his suitcase to the door.
“I’ll be back tomorrow afternoon,” Dad said.
“Who will give me a bath? And read me a bedtime story?
And make pancakes in the morning?” asked Callie.
“Grandma will,” said Dad.
20 June 2019
“I know,” said Callie,
“but it won’t be the same.”
“I bet you’ll like
Grandma’s ways too,”
said Dad, giving Callie
a squeeze.
It was not the same. At
bath time, Grandma used a
lot of soap.
But the extra bubbles
made a perfect sudsy beard.
June 2019 21
At bedtime, Grandma
read the book with
different voices.
But she read Callie’s
favorite part over and
over again.
At breakfast,
Grandma’s pancakes
weren’t circles.
But she let Callie add
lots of blueberries to her
pancakes.
22 June 2019
When Dad came home, Callie jumped into his arms.
“How’d it go?” he asked.
“Great! Grandma doesn’t do things the same,” said
Callie, “and I like her way too.”
