I'm looking forward to getting Thunderboy this week. I am so sad for the last Elephant & Piggie book! I want more! They do reward frequent rereading, though, and I love having a new group of Children's Lit students to introduce to them every semester.Elisabeth Ellingtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00747914394861199796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7059745967759944669.post-49742790126709885732016-05-16T19:29:34.278-07:002016-05-16T19:29:34.278-07:00Finding Wild looks beautiful.

I read Red a...Wow, our lists are similar this week! I read Red and thought it was good, but my son was too young for it. He loves vehicle books, so this surprised me. I think the lack of color made him less interested. I loved Thunder Boy Jr., and I appreciate Debbie's comments, but as a Native American, sometimes I wonder why we should have to always be educating others. It isn't that I don't think a note would be helpful. It would be. But why must Alexie HAVE to include a note? I agree with her, but I have been thinking a lot about this lately.<br /><br />I got a bit caught in review books, so I had to pause The Memory of Things, but I am really looking forward to getting back to it.

I think this will be a goo series for some of them.
