Make More S'mores review

Make More S'mores by Cathy Ballou Mealey

 

Roscoe has his campfire going and is toasting the most perfect marshmalllow. He slides it onto a graham cracker, adds a chocolate square, and sandwiches it with another graham--the most perfect s'more--when Grizzly Bear shows up.(goodreads summary
 
 
 
 
 
Whenever I think of summer, the first thing I look forward to are the evening campfires and making s'mores.  Whether camping or in the backyard, this is the perfect story that will help kick off those fun summer days ahead.   
 
Roscoe the Raccoon welcomes the many guests to his s'mores making party while Grizzly Bear learns how to wait patiently and share.  The two together make a wonderful pair on politeness and patience. All the characters are cute and it has a sweet message about sharing with others.   The text is rhythmic and the illustrations are large and vibrant making it easy to read aloud.  It is a joyful story that combines sharing and friendship with just one of the many things you can enjoy about the upcoming months. A wonderful book to read for camp or just hanging out together as a family making summertime memories.  I think this is a "just right book" for ages 3-7.~
