Simon and the Better Bone

AUTHOR: Corey R. Tabor
ILLUSTRATOR: Corey R. Tabor

From the Publisher:

Using the same innovative format as his Caldecott Honor winner, Mel Fell, Corey R. Tabor reimagines Aesop’s “The Dog and His Reflection” in a clever, charming tale of empathy and generosity. 

One day, down by the pond, Simon meets another dog just like him. 

And that dog has a bone just like his, only better! 

How will Simon ever get him to trade, when the other pup knows all the same tricks…? 

Leah’s Thoughts:

We love this book! It’s playful and clever, but there’s also a simple message about comparison that really lands. If you’ve got kids who always want what someone else has (so… all of them?), this book is a fun way to start that discussion.
