Heroes in Training #8 Cronus and the Threads of Dread by Joan Holub and Suzanne Williams*

My son finished this book in one morning!  This is his review:
Athena was suppose to be smart but was not smart without her thread of cleverness.  They discovered that Cronus was their father.
They beat the spiders, another creature of chaos.
*Highly recommend.

Lion, Lion by Miriam Busch illustrated by Larry Day

A little boy and a lion dialogue back and forth as a boy searches for his PET lion (which turns out to be a cat).
I enjoyed asking questions as I read this story to my preschooler.  The illustrations evoke questions.  The illustrations also promote inferences and add depth to the story.
Perfect book for partner reading as the whole story is told via dialogue.
Readers will admire the main character's cleverness in rescuing his pet.  Funny last page!
Strategies: asking questions, inferring, fluency
