Green Pants

Kenneth Kraegel, illustrated by Kenneth Kraegel

Jameson will only wear green pants. When he is invited to be part of his cousin’s wedding, he faces a choice: take part while dressed in a formal tuxedo with black pants, or keep wearing the green pants he prefers. The story centers on his attachment to a particular piece of clothing and the conflict between that preference and the requirements of the wedding. Watercolor and pencil illustrations accompany Jameson as he considers what to do.

Cover of Winter DanceWinter DanceMarion Dane BauerA red fox wonders what to do as winter approaches. Other animals each offer a suggestion based on their own way of preparing: a caterpillar proposes a chrysalis, a turtle recommends deep mud, and others point to nuts, caves, sleep, or migration. None feels right to the fox. At last, another red fox offers a different answer: when snow fills the air, the two can join its twirling, tumbling movement. The story follows the fox’s search for a winter response that suits him.Under FiveLexile Text Measure AD520LATOS Book Level 3.4On the same reading list for the same age or grade groupView book details
