Squeak's Good Idea
The author of COWBOY KID and the illustrator of OWL BABIES offer a gentle read-aloud about trying out one's independence. Squeak has a good idea-he's going outside. But to be on the safe side, he'll need just a few things-like mittens, a jacket, a scarf, a hat, a raincoat, warm pants, extra socks, and an umbrella. Will Squeak ever be ready to go out? This encouraging story about venturing out on one's own is gently told by author Max Eilenberg, with delightful illustrations by Patrick Benson.

Promoting independence in young children
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago
Squeak, an adorable little elephant, wants to go outside, but everyone is busy. When he decides to go alone, Squeak takes along everything he might need while he is outside. Benson has created a wonderfully warm setting for this elephant family. The full page spreads show a surprisingly realistic family and neighborhood setting. A great read aloud for its predictability. Young children will relate to Squeak and his independence, and will be comforted by the love and affection shown by his family.
