If you haven't chosen a book for your chapter book readers stocking yet then I suggest grabbing a copy of Terry Denton's Wombat & Fox: The Whole Story. There will be lots of laughter and mayhem, and your young reader will not want to put it down (I know I didn't want to).

As you entered an unknown harrowing time where learning to survive was what consumed your everyday - I saw you both and I felt helpless that I could only listen to your story, but I was also hopeful.

A World Full of Animal Stories
