Officer Buckle and Gloria
Penguin, 1995, Caldecott
Summary: Officer Buckle's job is to give safety speeches to school staff and students. No one really listens to him until he buddies up with a dog named Gloria. What Officer Buckle doesn't know in the narrative text, but is visual in the pictures, is that Gloria is acting out the scenarios, capturing the audience's attention. But when he finds out, can he handle being upstaged by his partner?
Lesson: I use this book to talk about the powers of observation. If you do not see the pictures, then the story doesn't make sense. We also discuss the safety tips in the book. Another topic is the power of teamwork.
