The Chestnut Challenge: The Nocturnals (Grow & Read Early Reader, Level 3

This is another wonderful adventure with our friends Bismark the sugar glider, Dawn the fox, Tobin the pangolin.  In this book they meet a new friend Chandler the chinchilla, he claims to be the chestnut (checkers) champion, but after a rough start the friend come together and decide playing for fun is much better than playing for champions.  I really like these book because besides meeting new animals you learn a lesson in a calm friendly way, and this is so helpful in such a angry world we live in today. These books also show diversity even though it is animal diversity it still shows inclusion of someone different than themselves.  The illustration are soft and inviting, the story is one that won't be forgotten, and the activities in the back round out this book as a complete storytime.
