Manger - OPTIONAL

Hopkins, Lee Bennett (editor) Manger, illustrated by Helen Cann.  PICTURE BOOK.  Eerdmans Books, 2014.  $16.  Content: G.  

Hopkins has assembled a collection of poems to show the reactions of animals of all sorts to the birth of the baby Jesus.  Jane Yolen, Alma Ada, and Marilyn Nelson are just a trio of the well-known poets.  Cann’s illustrations brings them together into a cohesive whole.  Useful for either a lesson on personification or, of course, for a religious Christmas collection.  

Pre-K, EL (K-3) - OPTIONAL.  Cindy, Library Teacher
