Waiting

Waiting by Kevin Henkes is a book children will enjoy.  Five toys spend the majority of their time waiting at the window for different things-the moon, the snow, the wind, and the rain.  Then one day, a cat is added to the group.  The cat is also waiting, but for something completely different.  Henkes has done a good job creating another picture book for preschoolers and young elementary students.  Even my older students enjoyed the story-it facilitated a discussion on different things that we wait for.
