Crowded Ride in the Countryside (Edwards, Frank B., New Reader Series.)
by Frank B Edwards
Book 2
When a lonely, little frog arrives at the zoo, he is disappointed that all the other animals seem too busy to welcome him. As the animals rush past, he calls out, "I am new. May I play with you?" But each one tells him, "Not now. I am going to a party", and rushes past.Disappointment, however, turns to delight when the zookeeper explains that everyone is going to a party for their newest friend. "Who is your new friend?" asks the frog. "Our new friend is you", announces the entire group who shower the newcomer with gifts, decorations and cake.Bianchi's wonderful animal characters and his colorful party scene bring smiles to every child who has experienced the sense of being the new kid in class.
The zoo animals hate being dirty so, equipped with towels and other bathing necessities, they go to the zookeeper and ask for her help. "I am dirty. I want to be clean", they each tell her.Handing each one a bar of soap, she instructs them to go to the tub "and wash with soap". But as more and more bubbles creep into the story, it becomes obvious that there is some serious trouble at the tub. Faced with a mountain of suds that covers the zoo, the keeper realizes the animals have used too much soap. Adding more water solves the problem and the animals get back to their scrubbing with enthusiasm. "Thank you", they call. "Now we are clean".Bianchi and Edwards once again create a hilarious and silly story from one of children's favorite themes -- bath time.
