Whistle for Willie by Ezra Jack Keats

This book is about a little boy, name Peter. When he saw a boy whistling to call his dog, Peter decides to whistle to call his dog, Willie. He tries and tries to learn how to whistle. He practiced every day and in varieties of ways such as, turning himself, hiding in an empty carton, coloring a long line on the sidewalk all the way home, by putting his father's old hat to make himself feel more grown-up, pretending to be his father, and walking the cracks in the sidewalk. He kept trying until he was able to whistle. His dog, Willie, looks aroung to see who is whistling and calling him. Peter becomes so happy with himself and for what he was able to do, that when he went on an errand to the grocery store, he whistled all the way there and all the way back home.

The Day the Crayons Quit by Drew Daywalt

Poor Duncan just wants to color. But when he opens his box of crayons, he finds only letters, all saying the same thing: We quit!

Beige is tired of playing second fiddle to Brown. Blue needs a break from coloring all that water, while Pink just wants to be used. Green has no complaints, but Orange and Yellow are no longer speaking to each other. 

What is Duncan to do? Debut author Drew Daywalt and New York Times bestseller Oliver Jeffers create a colorful solution in this playful, imaginative story that will have children laughing and playing with their crayons in a whole new way.
