One of my favorite picture books is Officer Buckle and Gloria by Peggy Rathman. I'm always suggesting this book to patrons as a fun read. It not only won the 1996 Caldecott Award, but it's also cute and silly. All of the children (and the staff too!) at Napville Elementary School always ignore Officer Buckle's safety tips as tons of accidents happen all over the school. Then one day, a police dog named Gloria accompanies him when he gives his next round of safety speeches. Gloria hides behind him making all sorts of humorous gestures and mannerisms, which gains the kids attention and they finally take safety at school seriously. I just love Gloria. She's so cute!!!
