Sonny Says Sorry! - by Caryl Hart (Hardcover)

About the Book

Book Synopsis

Join Sonny and his friends as they learn about friendship in this installment of the Sonny Says series, with illustrations by the creator of the hit new PBS show Carl the Collector, New York Times bestselling author Zachariah OHora.

While playing Hide and Seek with his friends, Sonny finds a box. It has a label on it that says "Do not open." But Sonny really wants to know what's inside. He pokes the box. Sniffs the box. And when Boo and Meemo come along, Sonny says, "Look!" He opens the box, and they peek inside. Cake! "Yummy!" says Boo. It looks so good, they can't help it-they eat it. But when Honey comes by, she sees Sonny and Meemo and Boo's chocolatey hands and faces. "That was my cake!" she cries. What will Sonny and his friends do?

This series covers universal kid experiences in sweet and funny ways-in this case, saying sorry, and trying to make things right.

Review Quotes

"An all-too-relatable tale--with a delightful ending and a solid lesson--that will appeal to preschoolers. . . . Just the thing to help children deal with making a mistake--and amends." --Kirkus Reviews

"Hart's playful, repetitive text winningly recalls Mac Barnett's Jack books. OHora's bright digital art, often presented against monochrome backgrounds and augmented by colorful speech bubbles, keeps the focus on the expressive characters. A solid conversation opener for discussions on sharing and empathy." --Publishers Weekly on SONNY SAYS MINE!

"Entertaining and instructive, this will be a useful preschool discussion starter." --Booklist on SONNY SAYS MINE!
