"Inkheart" and the Magic School Bus chapter books. I think last night's was the "Giant Germ."
My son loves Mo Willems and so do I. Right now he wants to read whatever his teacher is reading outloud to the class. We're still reading Trumpet of the Swan (which his teacher finished last week) and last night at the library he found Three Tales of My Father's Dragon, which his teacher is reading now. He was so excited when he saw it! It's so cute. He's also in love with the Black Lagoon series. He wants to own every one of those.
We just read "Good Egg". It's a really cute boardbook with tabs that move things. The author has you training Egg to lie down and sit--LOL. It's meant for toddlers and preschoolers, but my older kids thought it was hysterical. (It'd be a nice choice for Easter)
Well, more good books for us. (Guess Feb was a good month)Just read Todd Parr's "The I Love You Book" which I highly recommend. Also, "Rabbit! Duck!"
and on the serious side: "Abe's Fish" (as in Abe Lincoln) and "Frogs".
Oh, and my boy just reminded me of "Thomas and the Great Discovery". It is really good.
My second grader is reading and enjoying Diary of a Wimpy Kid. He also has the Diary of a Wimpy Kid Do-It-Yourself Book, which he spent a lot of time working on over the weekend.
Esperanza Rising by Pam Munoz Ryan. I love it. I cry every time!
My son has found a new book series, American Chillers, which he is very excited about. This makes me so happy!
Kids in my sixth grade class cannot get enough Percy Jackson! They will read a book in a couple of nights because they can't put them down.
(I secretly adore the fiesty bird ;)
