![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Young readers will need to use all their story reading skills to find success. Picnics and cookie-runs can wear a boy out! These two nap stories, each only a page or two long, express the feelings of every child still stuck with nap time. In the end when Ma asks, “So, did you run into Big Bear?” Patrick responds, “No! He ran into ME!”Īfter both of Patrick’s adventures, Ma says he needs a nap. Thanks to some simple advice from Ma, however, Patrick stands up to Big Bear. Patrick is sent to the store for cookies, but Big Bear threatens to take away his dollar. In the second story, Patrick and Big Bear, Patrick meets the local bully who popped his red balloon on the picnic. He finds puddles and wet clothes, and Ma finds a way to make their picnic happen despite the rain. Birds get chased, balloons get popped, boats get sailed, and bugs get away. The first story, A Teddy Bear’s Picnic, features Patrick enjoying a picnic in the park and his mother trying to keep up with him. But while the book and the characters might be new, the enjoyment that Hayes and Toon Books brings to young readers is exactly the same. Geoffrey Hayes, 2010 Geisel Award winner for Benny and Penny in the Big No-No!, is back with a new Toon Book featuring Patrick, a new character that beginning readers will love. ![]()
