    "Monsters Can Mosey," by Gillia Olson - chock-full of juicy CCSS Tier II verbs and adjectives - features Freddy (a female monster) and her mom exploring ways Freddy might participate in the annual holiday parade.

    The ASHA Leader, "There's a Book for That!"
    "It's not often that a series can introduce key concepts and be entertaining at the same time, yet this collection does just that.
