Holidays

There is so much to be thankful for–and so much to do–during this busy holiday season. No matter which holidays your class celebrates, the books below are sure to provide fun for the festivities and food for thought.

What Dads Can’t Do

There are lots of things that regular people can do but dads can’t.  Dads can’t cross the street without holding hands. They can push, but can’t swing.  When dads play hide-and-seek they always get found, but they have a hard time finding you.  Dads really need to be kissed good night at bedtime. It’s a wonder they make it through life at all!
