It's Monday, What Are You Reading-September 21, 2015

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

Busy week, not much time to read. 

But I just finished this little gem and I can't stop laughing. 
The Day the Crayons Came Home
by Drew Daywalt
Illustrated by Oliver Jeffers

I am a huge fan of The Day the Crayons Quit and my students love hearing it read aloud. I can't wait to share this one as well. The authors are so clever, I don't know how they think of such creative ideas. After reading these books, you will never look at crayons the same way again. 

Currently Reading

Not sure what is next right now.

    Lewis has his moments, but a novel in verse. Sigh. Just not my favorite. Will have to take a look, since we do a bit with this time period. Thanks for the heads up.

    Crayons, right??? I've read it countless times and I love it more after each read. Daywalt did an amazing job imagining the personalities of the crayons!

    I read parts of The Day The Crayons Came Home, but still need to get it so I can read it all. It would be such a good mentor text for writing, too.

    It's quite an accomplishment to come up with a sequel that's as entertaining as the first.
