It's Monday What Are You Reading? Dec. 10

Please visit the amazing blog: Teach Mentor Texts 
who host this terrific meme each week. 

This was mostly a picture book week for me with a graphic novel and some early reader books thrown in.  I read some of the Nerdy Book Club nominees and some others just for fun.  


                     Cute!                       Kind of interesting, but                      Sweet, loved it!
                                                         not my favorite.

 
             Fascinating story and I'm             Gotta love Fly Guy!          A wonderful interpretation
                not even a sports fan.                                                           visually stunning! 

        So hilarious!  Sarcasm galore!                 Fascinating!                   My first Pete the Cat book.
                                                                                                              Long overdue.

               Loved the story and                  Funny, my students            Neat idea, but not my favorite.
                      illustrations.                           would like it.

                         Beautiful book with great pictures       LOVED it!  Must use to demo
                          and a simple yet effective story.                    writing process.
 
Mo Willems is a genius!


What's Next?  
A few chapters in. Liking it so far.

  6. We have several picture books in common this week! I think you're really going to like Liar & Spy. Don't forget that you can recommend 2012 titles to the MSBA committee! We love outside opinions!

    Have a great week!
