An attempt to justify the existence of dreamers and artists by showing that what looks like procrastination and lollygagging from the outside is their creativity working overtime on the inside.

Sure.

Now get to work!

So gosh darn cute. Baby chick has a LOT to say. But no one has time to listen. While playing by itself Baby Chick finds an egg and helps it hatch. And she was lucky enough to make a new friend who likes to listen to her chatters. This was lots of fun and would be great to do at story time.

talking - a lot - and then chick hatches a turtle who doesn't have as much to say

This is supposed to be based on the song, but It’s not the Santa Baby song I know. It’s given new words, that I guess work, but when trying to sing it, its hard. The illustrations feel as dated as they are, and while it’s a nice read, once the copy falls apart, the library will probably not try to replace it.

This book tells a story about a guinea pig who is trying to join the pig’s scout. However, all the other pigs make fun of him, because he does not fit in with the others. They keep teasing him, however he proves his worth and saves his partner from danger, while they were hiking.

This was a funny little book about a guinea pig named Willy who is convinced that he's every bit a pig as anyone in the pig scouts. The pigs all laugh at him and call him silly, you'll never be a real pig, they say. So when Willy is partnered up with the biggest bully of them all, Peyton pig, they're not exactly happy campers. That all changes when he and Peyton fall into a cave and Willy saves the day by digging them almost out and whistling for help, proving that sometimes being different is a good thing.
