MONDAY: Silly Tilly by Eileen Spinelli

Summary
Tilly is a silly goose - literally! She rides a cat, naps in the scarecrow's pants and tires to send a pig to France in a rowboat. The other farm animals tell her enough is enough, so Tilly stops being silly. While the animals got what they wanted, they discover it wasn't really what they needed.

Review
Such a cute story about being yourself. The illustrations are beautiful - the picture of Tilly when she's given up silliness makes you want to hug her! [Illustrated by David Slonim]

4 out of 5 stars
AR level of 2.0

Recommended for: kids between 4 and 9, older readers who still enjoy the fun of picture books, discussions about self-esteem and being yourself

Cautions: none
