I can't wait to read it. I can see my kids rolling on the floor with The Brief Thief. My fifth graders were rolling on the floor when I read the letter from the "naked" crayon (his paper was torn off) in The Days the Crayon Quit.Stacey (@libraryjo92)https://www.blogger.com/profile/13720424072442281220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3031142435142384571.post-41607434734736026222013-09-09T18:28:02.028-07:002013-09-09T18:28:02.028-07:00Very nice selection!

This year JOURNEY's going on that list. :)<br /><br />I completely agree with you about BRIEF THIEF. Totally not my kind of humor.Beth S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06944635942712994937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3031142435142384571.post-73279067558430623342013-09-09T06:44:25.296-07:002013-09-09T06:44:25.296-07:00The Brief Thief is certainly a title with big kid ...The Brief Thief is certainly a title with big kid appeal - my students listened open mouthed when I read it and then instantly asked me to read it again. They then proceeded to choose this title frequently when we had guests in the room and read it aloud to them. What a title! I am a huge fan of Journey. Haven't shared it with my kids yet and can't wait to do so!Carrie Gelsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08416480940951200461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3031142435142384571.post-14614966594357698312013-09-09T04:58:23.396-07:002013-09-09T04:58:23.396-07:00Hi there Gigi.

I have a special affinity with wordless picture books, so I have a feeling I'd love it. Brief Thief also looks hilarious. Have a great reading week!GatheringBookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04477710897574769648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3031142435142384571.post-52889896628290603212013-09-09T04:27:04.287-07:002013-09-09T04:27:04.287-07:00Very nice selection Gigi.

It appears to have a good theme. I hope the illustrations are big, bold, and colorful. I am checking into both titles. Journey is on my buy list. There is such value in wordless picture books when they are as well done as Journey is.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14722301148509372483noreply@blogger.com
