Kate DiCamillo either really resonates with me that they become heartprint books (Because of Winn-Dixie, Flora & Ulysses, Bink & Gollie) or they completely miss the mark for me. The Tale of Despereux was a book that I really disliked despite the fact that it so so beloved and won a Newbery medal. I also really didn't love Raymie Nightingale. To each their own I guess.

I've seen a lot of praise for When Stars Are Scattered, and I think I'll need to try it, since I know too little about what refugees have gone through (and I enjoyed Jamieson's book Roller Girl). Also, I'm sorry that you didn't enjoy The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane—it is a pretty emotional read. I'm glad you've been able to get more reading in this week!

For years I wouldn't read Kate DiCamillo because I just couldn't stand that book and thought I wouldn't like anything else she wrote. Turns out I was very wrong about that. I've thought about revisiting Edward to see if I still dislike it, but really, why? There are so many books to read or the first time. Just know, you are not alone! Oh, I want the new Bird & Squirrel! I haven't bought the last couple and sometime I'd really like to add them to my collection.

They're working hard to get ready! Thanks for sharing and have a great week!Jana The Teacherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15904621400925950938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7059745967759944669.post-13010725834476986482020-05-04T10:10:37.200-07:002020-05-04T10:10:37.200-07:00Bike & Trike is a new title to me, so I'm ...Bike & Trike is a new title to me, so I'm adding this to my list. I liked how many useful things Lali discovered she could do with her feather, despite the naysayers. :) And, of course, the cute ending when she comes upon something new. I was thinking it might be fun to have a bag full of "useless" objects for a classroom of students to discuss all the ways they could be functional. I really understand the fear of being ripped to shreds when disliking a book (especially be a beloved author), but we like what we like. Right? Also, I fully intend to get on the Leigh Bardugo bandwagon this year. Hold me accountable! lol Thanks for all these wonderful shares, Michele!2Shaye ♪♫https://www.blogger.com/profile/10473467039770299975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7059745967759944669.post-2843847852215523502020-05-04T09:32:11.771-07:002020-05-04T09:32:11.771-07:00The Raul Colon book will be wonderful, I'm sur...The Raul Colon book will be wonderful, I'm sure. I noted others like the new Bird and Squirrel, Knot Cannot, & the new Bird & Squirrel, not sure I'll ever catch up, Michelle. Thanks much for sharing Lila and Hadley, a new #ownvoices to me. As for Edward Tulane, I don't remember enough about it to respond. If you didn't like it, that's okay. Each of us has our own preferences & feelings about what we read, what feels right to us. Good for you for sharing!

Both are well-loved series. I really wish I could still get books like these directly into kids' hands - when I give book talks, I tell kids that I can share it with them in September, but I know it's so long for them to wait.
