Tic, Tac, and Toe - Dillard, Sheri

. .

Résumé :
Tic, Tac, and Toe are always three in a row! Whether climbing a tree or sipping tea, they are the best of friends until one day when they find a bike made for two. What will this trio do? Tic, Tac, and Toe introduces readers to three adorable kittens as they spend the day having fun together. They go down the slide . . . one, two, three! They pick dandelions in the field and blow as hard as they can to release the fluffy seeds into the air. And they even take some time to enjoy afternoon tea! After some time, though, it becomes noticeable that Toe seems to trail behind Tic and Tac in these activities. When Tic and Tac decide to ride a tandem bicycle, it becomes clear that all three kittens won't be able to ride together, and Tic and Tac ride off, leaving Toe behind. Despite Toe's best efforts to catch up with a skateboard and even a pogo stick, the friends are long gone, not realizing they've hurt his feelings. Will the friends realize what has happened to Toe and turn around? Author Sheri Dillard tells the youngest of readers a simple, yet powerful story about how friendships are made and tested. As a preschool teacher, she has experienced first-hand the relationships that are made by children who are introduced to new social environments and situations that don't include the security of a parent or guardian nearby. How they explore a new environment speaks immensely to how they develop friendships. Parents, guardians, and educators that read Tic, Tac, and Toe to their children will certainly stop and say throughout the story, How is Toe feeling? Why do you think he's feeling that way? Sheri Dillard explains, Asking questions while reading books can be like 'practice' to help children learn how to recognize others' feelings in real life, too. Stories about friendship, empathy, and kindness can guide kids on what it means to be a good friend. Tic, Tac, and Toe is sure to be a must-have book in a young reader's classroom, their local library, and even their own bookcase at home!...
