You know we love children's books around here! These are some of our current favorites:
Chugga-chugga Choo-choo, by Kevin Lewis. Nora loves this rhyming board book.
Sisters, by David McPhail. A sweet story about two sisters, their differences, and things they enjoy together. But no matter what, they have this in common: "they love each other so very much."
Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs, by Judi Barrett. We've borrowed this one from the library several times. My older kids are particularly enjoying this tall tale lately. Annie even read a good bit of it by herself.
My Great-Aunt Arizona, by Gloria Houston. Annie adored this book. It is about a teacher who began in a one-room school, and taught for 52 years! She wore her high-button shoes and white pinafores and "taught them words and numbers, and about the faraway places they would visit someday."
The Farm Summer of 1942, by Donald Hall. I loved this book about a boy who spent a summer of WWII with his grandparents on their farm.
This is a Good Story, by Adam Lehrhaupt. Another Annie-favorite. This book teaches kids what you need to have a good story: characters, setting, plot, etc.
Her Right Foot, by Dave Eggers. A clever true story about the Statue of Liberty, tied in beautifully to immigrants and refugees and the role they've played in American society.
Stay, by Katie Klise. A precious, precious book about a girl and her dog. She realizes her dog is growing older and makes a list of things for her dog to do. But in the end she realizes what her dog wants is just to be with her.
