Discovery Boxes for Preschoolers

 

Mr. Fine Porcupine Box
This box contains the book Mr. Fine, Porcupine by Fanny Joly and a wonderful porcupine puppet. Mr. Fine is one charming Porcupine, but his head is so full of sharp quills that everyone who sees him thinks he’s quite scary. He does all he can to change his large hair-do but meets with no success. Then an insightful lady porcupine teaches Mr. Porcupine that he’s perfect just the way he is. Children will love the lively rhyming text.

Baby Rattlesnake
This box contains the delightful book Baby Rattlesnake. This is the story of a baby rattlesnake who couldn’t wait until he was old enough to get a rattle. His constant crying forced his elders to give him a rattle before he was ready. He misuses his rattle and gets into trouble. This box includes the colorful stuffed rattlesnake we see pictured in the book.

Raven Box
This box contains the book Raven: A Trickster Tale from the Pacific Northwest. This book by Gerald McDermott is a Caldecott Honor winner. Raven, the trickster, wants to give people the gift of light. But can he find out where Sky Chief keeps it? It seems impossible, but if anyone can find a way to bring light to the world, wise and clever Raven can! Included in the box is a black raven puppet that will bring your story telling to life.
