(3) K-3 Ready-to-Read: Tails from History series. Illustrated by Rachel Sanson. This lively easy reader centers on painter and famous animal-lover Frida Kahlo's outgoing pet parrot, Bonito (who appeared in one of Kahlo's most beloved paintings, Self-Portrait with Bonito). Smiles (both human and animal) abound in Sanson's appealing illustrations, which humorously depict the joyous relationship Kahlo had with all her pets but particularly with the spirited Bonito.
