It's Monday, What Are You Reading-Feb. 23, 2015

Please visit the amazing blogs: Teach Mentor Texts and Unleashing Readers who host this terrific meme each week.

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....
Thanks to my friend Jason Lewis for lending me this arc. 
Loved it! Good for grades 6+. Review later.

Currently Reading....
Really loving so far!

  1. 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!

  2. Thank 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!

  4. I 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!

  5. I'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.

  10. You 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.
