While browsing the shelves at our local kids' bookstore for our book fair, I ran across some wonderful books I want to share with you all: Dooby Dooby Moo, by Doreen Cronin, the continuing saga of a barnyard full of animals who keep outsmarting the farmer - this time, by entering a talent show to win a trampoline. Beetle Bop, by Denise Fleming, a colorful look at the world of beetles, done in her unique stencil-and-cotton-pulp style. Ohio, by Erin McHugh, a state-shaped hardcover book that tells all about our wonderful state. (Looks like the publisher, Black Dog & Leventhal Publishers, has state-shaped books for other states, too.) First Snow in the Woods, by Sams and Stoick, full of gorgeous photos and lush prose and dialogue. We Are the Ship: The Story of Negro League Baseball, by Kadir Nelson, the best book I've ever seen on the subject, with fabulous illustrations and lots of interesting historical info. Dear Deer: A Book of Homophones, by Gene Barretta, a really cute introduction to words that sound alike but have different meanings. Book Fair Day, by Lynne Plourde, a good book to read to little ones who aren't sure what a book fair is all about. Why Did the Chicken Cross the Road?, by Jon Ogee (and a variety of other illustrators), answering the age old question in their own strange ways, complete with pix. Good for giggles, writing prompts, art ideas... Fold Me a Poem, by George Stringer, a lovely collection of short poems about pictured origami animals, with a resource list in the back. Cookies: Bite-Sized Life Lessons, by Amy Krouse Rosenthal, a new kind of dictionary that explains with cute pix the meanings of words like kindness and cooperate. Great for value training or character lessons. I loved these!! -------------------------------------------------------------------- Please note: All LM_NET postings are protected by copyright law.
