Quick List of Recent Reads

(Whoops, I thought I was telling Diigo to send this list to drafts, but I seem to have told it to publish instead. OK, so this is the SUPERquick no hardly-any-frills edition.)

• Flora's Very Windy Day by Jeanne Birdsall

Rilla and I were quite surprised to find ourselves and Huck in the opening pages of this book. I mean, really, it's like Matt Phelan was peeking in the wind. A charming story, quite appealing to the four-year-old big sister in this household. She wouldn't let Huck blow away either. Serendipitously, we picked up this book for the first time on the very day that Rilla discovered two pairs of rainboots in the hall closet. Pink and blue, not red and purple, but still.

(A Cybils Shortlist Reading Challenge book)

• Knuffle Bunny: A Cautionary Tale by Mo Willems

When all is said and done, "She went boneless" is going to go down as one of the great lines of American literature.

• Christina Katerina and the Box by Patricia Gauch

One of my own childhood favorites. Now a Rilla fave, requested every couple of weeks. (I've mentioned it before, here and here.)

• Count! by Denise Fleming

• Click, Clack, Moo: Cows That Type by Doreen Cronin

• Daisy Thinks She Is a Baby by Lisa Kopper (I posted about it here)
