Unique Paper Illustrations

Barbara Baumgartner has written down her stories so they can be enjoyed by school-age children. Everyone remembers the story of the clever monkey who outwits the hungry crocodile and children just love these stories. They are greatly enhanced with cut-paper illustrations. You can also make your own puppets to go along with the stories, although they didn't include any patterns to photocopy. That would have been very thoughtful. Otherwise, this book is just delightful. The stories included: Crocodile! Crocodile! Crocodile Hunts for the Monkey The Squeaky Old Bed How the Chipmunk Got His Stripes The Grateful Snake Sody Saleratus Richly illustrated with wonderful borders! A must see! ~The Rebecca Review
