The first in a series of books for each day of the week, it introduces best friends April and Mae, chronicling their routine of having a tea party on Sundays. Despite their differences, the pals find common ground, each contributing their special talents to the tea parties they enjoy, as Mae decorates and bakes, while April performs songs and dances. On one such day, the cheerful occasion is interrupted when April incorporates a new magic show into her performance. An errant ball from her juggling act knocks Mae’s favorite teacup to the floor, smashing it to pieces. Although this accident leads to an argument between April and Mae that threatens to sever their bond, the two learn to work through their hurt feelings, making thoughtful amends to restore their friendship. Dowd teaches positive social skills by describing the step-by-step process April and Mae take to acknowledge their emotions and heal the rift between them. For children learning to adapt to change, this book offers a reassuring message about how to successfully manage breaks in routine. In addition to being helpful for teachers seeking to promote socioemotional development in early childhood classrooms, this book will appeal to children with its warm, festive full-color illustrations and action-driven plot. Its short sentences, simple language, and onomatopoeia makes it an accessible and engaging easy reader. Embracing unity in diversity and guiding children in problem-solving, it is an endearing, joyous book to encourage kindness and forgiveness in young students.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003c!-- - - - - - - - - - - - ENTER DETAILS BELOW - - - - - - - - - - - --\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eDetails\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHardcover\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eISBN: \u003cspan data-sheets-value='{\"1\":2,\"2\":\"9781580898867\"}' data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e978-1-58089-886-7\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-sheets-value='{\"1\":2,\"2\":\"9781580898867\"}' data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePaperback\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eISBN: 978-1-62354-410-2\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eE-book\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eISBN: \u003cspan data-sheets-value='{\"1\":2,\"2\":\"9781632897503\"}' data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e978-1-63289-750-3\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAges: 5-8\u003cbr\u003ePage count: 48\u003cbr\u003e6 x 9\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n[\/TABS]","published_at":"2022-04-11T12:49:02-04:00","created_at":"2022-04-11T12:44:48-04:00","vendor":"Charlesbridge","type":"Children's Book","tags":["Browse by Age_Ages 3-6","Browse by Age_Ages 6-10","Browse by Fiction\/Nonfiction_Fiction","Browse by Format_Chapter Book","Browse by Language_English","Browse by Subject_Diversity","Browse by Subject_Life Lessons \u0026 Skills","Browse by Subject_Story Time \u0026 Play"],"price":499,"price_min":499,"price_max":1299,"available":true,"price_varies":true,"compare_at_price":null,"compare_at_price_min":0,"compare_at_price_max":0,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":42680524701933,"title":"Hardcover","option1":"Hardcover","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"98867","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":false,"featured_image":{"id":36983670472941,"product_id":7692407177453,"position":1,"created_at":"2022-04-11T12:47:00-04:00","updated_at":"2022-04-11T12:47:02-04:00","alt":null,"width":600,"height":888,"src":"\/\/www.charlesbridge.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/april-mae-tea-party-cover.jpg?v=1649695622","variant_ids":[42680524701933,44043999707373]},"available":true,"name":"April \u0026 Mae and the Tea Party - Hardcover","public_title":"Hardcover","options":["Hardcover"],"price":1299,"weight":369,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_quantity":9,"inventory_management":"shopify","inventory_policy":"continue","barcode":"9781580898867","featured_media":{"alt":null,"id":29548104351981,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":0.676,"height":888,"width":600,"src":"\/\/www.charlesbridge.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/april-mae-tea-party-cover.jpg?v=1649695622"}},"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[]},{"id":44043999707373,"title":"Paperback","option1":"Paperback","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"44102","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":false,"featured_image":{"id":36983670472941,"product_id":7692407177453,"position":1,"created_at":"2022-04-11T12:47:00-04:00","updated_at":"2022-04-11T12:47:02-04:00","alt":null,"width":600,"height":888,"src":"\/\/www.charlesbridge.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/april-mae-tea-party-cover.jpg?v=1649695622","variant_ids":[42680524701933,44043999707373]},"available":true,"name":"April \u0026 Mae and the Tea Party - Paperback","public_title":"Paperback","options":["Paperback"],"price":499,"weight":369,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_quantity":0,"inventory_management":"shopify","inventory_policy":"continue","barcode":"9781623544102","featured_media":{"alt":null,"id":29548104351981,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":0.676,"height":888,"width":600,"src":"\/\/www.charlesbridge.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/april-mae-tea-party-cover.jpg?v=1649695622"}},"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[]}],"images":["\/\/www.charlesbridge.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/april-mae-tea-party-cover.jpg?v=1649695622"],"featured_image":"\/\/www.charlesbridge.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/april-mae-tea-party-cover.jpg?v=1649695622","options":["Title"],"media":[{"alt":null,"id":29548104351981,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":0.676,"height":888,"width":600,"src":"\/\/www.charlesbridge.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/april-mae-tea-party-cover.jpg?v=1649695622"},"aspect_ratio":0.676,"height":888,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/www.charlesbridge.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/april-mae-tea-party-cover.jpg?v=1649695622","width":600}],"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_groups":[],"content":"\u003ch6\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003ch1\u003eApril \u0026amp;

The first in a series of books for each day of the week, it introduces best friends April and Mae, chronicling their routine of having a tea party on Sundays. Despite their differences, the pals find common ground, each contributing their special talents to the tea parties they enjoy, as Mae decorates and bakes, while April performs songs and dances. On one such day, the cheerful occasion is interrupted when April incorporates a new magic show into her performance. An errant ball from her juggling act knocks Mae’s favorite teacup to the floor, smashing it to pieces. Although this accident leads to an argument between April and Mae that threatens to sever their bond, the two learn to work through their hurt feelings, making thoughtful amends to restore their friendship. Dowd teaches positive social skills by describing the step-by-step process April and Mae take to acknowledge their emotions and heal the rift between them. For children learning to adapt to change, this book offers a reassuring message about how to successfully manage breaks in routine. In addition to being helpful for teachers seeking to promote socioemotional development in early childhood classrooms, this book will appeal to children with its warm, festive full-color illustrations and action-driven plot. Its short sentences, simple language, and onomatopoeia makes it an accessible and engaging easy reader. Embracing unity in diversity and guiding children in problem-solving, it is an endearing, joyous book to encourage kindness and forgiveness in young students.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003c!-- - - - - - - - - - - - ENTER DETAILS BELOW - - - - - - - - - - - --\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eDetails\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHardcover\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eISBN: \u003cspan data-sheets-value='{\"1\":2,\"2\":\"9781580898867\"}' data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e978-1-58089-886-7\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-sheets-value='{\"1\":2,\"2\":\"9781580898867\"}' data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePaperback\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eISBN: 978-1-62354-410-2\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eE-book\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eISBN: \u003cspan data-sheets-value='{\"1\":2,\"2\":\"9781632897503\"}' data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e978-1-63289-750-3\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAges: 5-8\u003cbr\u003ePage count: 48\u003cbr\u003e6 x 9\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n[\/TABS]"}
