Don't Squish the Sasquatch by Kent Redeker-ESSENTIAL

Redeker, Kent, Don’t Squish the Sasquatch. Disney Hyperion, 2012. PICTURE BOOK

When Señor Sasquatch gets on the bus, he hopes that his bus ride won’t have a lot of people on it. He hates being squished. Unfortunately, he doesn’t get his wish and is squashed by various animals. What will happen if he gets squeezed one time too many? What will the animals do to help Señor Sasquatch?

A cute, fun picture book for young children. The pictures are well-done and cute. The text is simple, repetitive, and does a great job of getting children to practice their narrative skills. A great read aloud for storytime, a kindergarten classroom, or for a parent to read to a child.
