BUYING ADVISORY: EL - ESSENTIAL
AUDIENCE APPEAL: MANY
Ruby, a young elementary school-aged fox, is nervous to start at a new school. She worries that she will not be able to make new friends. To help her through her nervousness, she brings her bag of tools. There is a measuring tape to help her count her breaths, pliers to remind her to bend a little, and safety goggles to help her see things in a new way. When she finds out about a class egg drop competition she struggles to speak up and share her ideas. Then she remembers her tools and how they can help her.
This is a great story about using different tools to help us through the difficulties we encounter in our day. This would be a great book to read to children at the beginning of the school year. The illustrations are bright and engaging.
