Charlotte and Penelope and Their Magical Menagerie - by Teresa Argenbright (Hardcover)

Book Synopsis

A whimsical book with rhymes on each line!
Sisters Charlotte and Penelope spend the day with their marvelous group of animal friends, also called a menagerie! They'll style hair with Javier the bear, play hopscotch with Klaus the mouse, and surf waves with Big Dolphin Dave. Young readers will be crafting their own rhymes about their favorite animal before the story is done.

Animal facts are included in the back of the book, adding STEM elements to this language focused-book, and their matching discussion questions help kids explore their own sense of self and adventure-just like Charlotte and Penelope.
