Ribbit!

SING, FROGGIE, SING (CANTA, RANA, CANTA) by Carolyn Dee Flores, Pinata Books, 2013.

Pinata, a division of Arte Publico, gives readers a cumulative story/song reminiscent of "there's a hole in the bottom of the sea." There is a frog in the pond. When he croaks, a fly comes by to hush his mouth. When the fly buzzes, then, there is a spider to hush it, and so on. Eventually, a baby, mother, father, and grandmother round out the hushing. Music and lyrics are provided in the back mater of the book.

Let there be peace on earth

PEACE by Wendy Anderson Halperin. Atheneum, 2013.

This repetitive text lets readers kniow that if there is to be peace it has to begin small and then grow outward. Illustrations and text bed and twist over the double page spreads. Consider using this before reading SADAKO AND THE TOUSAND PAPER CRANES by Ed Young.
