Be sure to enter my giveaway of a signed hardcover copy of Lynda Mullaly Hunt's Fish in a tree here.
Thanks to a trip to the book store, I was able to read a bunch of picture books. Click on the covers to learn more about them.
Really cute book about counting and sharing. K-2
A book about fate and friendship. K-4
I really love the illustrations in this book about
the ingredients necessary to make a good book. K-3
Neat story of creativity, persistence and making
mistakes. Good for K-3.
LOVED this adorable parallel story. Great for any
child who has ever been afraid of monsters. K-3.
Betty wants to peel her banana by herself. If you have
spent any time around toddlers, you will totally recognize this scenario.
I finished....

Great books, Gigi, & some I still need to find. Maybe I need to get to a book store? How To Bake A Book looks fun. Have a good week!
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing about your giveaway! I would love to have a copy of that book for my 4th grade classroom. I have heard so many wonderful things about Fish in a Tree and I loved One for the Murphys. The picture books look really fun and interesting. Have a great reading week!
ReplyDeleteRosie Revere is one of my most favorite picture books! I talk about it too much, probably!
ReplyDeleteI loved Crossover, too. I wish I had Lost in the Sun, but it hasn't been on any of the E ARC sites. With winter being so bad, I am VERY grateful for Netgalley and Edelweiss!
ReplyDeleteI'm waiting for Crossover and Lost in the Sun to arrive from the library. All these picture books look wonderful. I want to get How to Bake a Book. It sounds like the perfect thing for serious young writers.
ReplyDeleteI loved, loved, loved The Crossover and am excited about Graff's new book! I got to see her at Dublin Lit on Sat!
ReplyDeleteVery excited to read The Crossover and to inform my book club who chose this for one of our monthly meet-ups that it won the Newbery Medal. :)
ReplyDelete*Sigh* The Crossover is so good. Props to the Newbery committee for their excellent choice! :D
ReplyDeleteStill waiting for my copy of Crossover - and for the publishing of Lisa Graff's book. Hard to wait, though, for books others are raving about!
ReplyDeleteYou have some of our favorite titles on your list this week - Lost in the Sun and Crossover are both spectacular. If you have a chance, listen to the audio of Crossover. We love the way the author read this text aloud.
ReplyDeleteThanks, will do!
DeleteEnjoy The Crossover - such a book! Your picture book titles look adorable. I need to go book store exploring very soon!
