Title: Crafty Chloe
Author: Kelly DiPucchio
Illustrator: Heather Ross
Publisher: Athenum Books for Young Readers, 2012
Ages 4-8
What Chloe lacks in soccer skills,
video gaming, and ballet lessons, she more than makes up for in her
ability to dream up, craft, and create, especially when those
creations include googly eyes. When she is invited to her best
friend's birthday party, she has the best idea for a present, until
she learns it's already been bought by another party goer. After
pouring over her craft materials to inspire her to make the perfect
gift, she finally stumbles on a truly unique creation that her friend
Emma will love. A twist in the tale at the arrival of Emma's
birthday party shows Chloe's large heart, and will help teach kids a
lesson in compassion and forgiveness. An excellent read aloud that
emphasizes uniqueness and friendship that will engage kids aged 4-8,
while the fun illustrations offer an additional element of humor.
