THAT is the truest comment put to text! I whole-heartedly agree, Lynette.
I just love the way you named this challenge!I'm in!
Congrats, Jenny, and welcome, Maris!
I second Henry & Mudge, as well as Mr. Putter & Tabby. Cynthia Rylant also writes The Poppleton books, which are hilarious. And there's always Frog and Toad, who never stop being as awesome as the first time you read them. By Arnold Lobel. :)
The Syd Hoff books are very cute. And the Little Bear books by Minarik are sweet and whimsical.
I think you can find all of the above under the Harper-Collins "I Can Read" label. Plus, they're leveled so you can find some intriguing Non Fiction titles as your grandson's skills get stronger.
(I'll have some recommendations when he's ready for chapter books.)
Prequels, yes. But not right away. I'm rereading Dorothy Dunnett. So good!
In Such Good Company: Eleven Years of Laughter, Mayhem, and Fun in the Sandbox came available from my local library so I snatched it up. The Carol Burnett Show was a true classic. Brilliant and hilarious. I thoroughly enjoyed my trip down memory lane through this memoir. I listened to the audiobook, which was read by Carol Burnett, herself, and made use of interview clips from many of the actors involved. If you haven't seen the show, you should consider tracking down some of the performances. (Maybe they're on YouTube or Netflix.) They're really was a Golden Age of television

I'm using the readathon to try an get some of the March mini-challenges finished. So far I'm 75% finished with The Last American Vampire for The Ides of March. And about 30% through A Few of the Girls: Stories by Maeve Binchy for Luck of the Irish. Still deciding what to read for March Madness, but Born to Run: A Hidden Tribe, Superathletes, and the Greatest Race the World Has Never Seen is looking interesting.
Can't sleep. Reading The Last American Vampire.
Woo hoo! I needed something to shake up my reading rut!
Impressively quick, Cindy and Gareth.
It's one of the best things about winter!!
Nice! What did you think of it?
Lol. The purpose of this one was to have a less challenging, fun alternative to Alphabet Soup. (We tried a couple of things with author names over the years and they didn't really take.) But I love that you're thinking creatively, Nancy, and I'll definitely take it into consideration for 2018.
Are people still having trouble with their counts? My app stopped counting in Feb but righted itself a couple of days ago.
Yes! Irish Authors!
That look really interesting, Gareth.
