These are two separate books. The verbage is the same in each one. One is for boys and one is for girls.
In these two books we find Nanook and Naloo venturing back to Ziron where they are met by their Ziron Friends. They have been waiting for them. They have a surprise to share. A new Ziron is about to be born. It seems that Zirons come from materal plats. They play with the new Ziron teaching it to speak. Suddenly they can no longer find Pafoo the new Ziron. Come along and see if you can figure out where the new Ziron is.

This is a great book to read at Halloween. A town gets all excited about Halloween. They love everything about it, jack-o-lanterns, costumes, the goodies. But, their favorite part is Francis the Witch. Halloween is not Halloween until she flies across the sky and declares it is Halloween. There is a problem. Francis wants to be a princess and wear a crown. Will Halloween come to town this year? I have loved all of Sally O. Lee's books. They are bright and colorful and always have a simple message.
Billy and Monster's Golden Christmas by David Chuka
Genre: Children's Picture Book
Source: I received a copy to facilitate my review.
This is another wonderful book by another of my favorite children's book authors. In this book we join Billy as he prepares to Celebrate Christmas. This year everyone is coming to his house. They open presents, eat wonderful food then they play games. It reminded me of my childhood. Everyone came to our farm. After lunch was over we would sit around the table and play games. Billy's Uncle Bob, who is from England always brings him a special gift. This year Billy watches his cousin open a present with a wonderful monster truck while he is given a golden pen. He is definitely not thankful for it. What will happen when he joins a monster family for their humble Christmas? A wonderful book to remind us why we celebrate.
