I read...
Turtle in Paradise by Jennifer L. Holm
The One and Only Ivan by Katherine Applegate
The Magic Cake Shop by Mekia Hashimoto
Fancy Nancy and the Mermaid Ballet by Jane O'Connor
I love, love, love The One and Only Ivan!! I can't wait to share this book with my oldest daughter this summer. I truly enjoyed reading all of these books. I love this line from Fancy Nancy: "You're jealous. But your heart is generous and warm, it will melt the bad feelings away."
I am now reading...
Teaching with the Brain in Mind by Eric Jensen
A Crooked Kind of Perfect by Linda Urban
A Crooked Kind of Perfect is a quiet, but well done book- enjoy. I also love Teaching with the Brain in Mind- one of the first educational books I've read.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you enjoyed Ivan as it is such a special book.
Happy reading this week :)
Love Turtle in Paradise and especially Ivan. A Crooked Kind of Perfect is on my to-read list too. It was ages before I realized it was by the same author as Hound Dog True (which I quite enjoyed).
ReplyDeleteI adored the cover on The Magic Cake Shop but wasn't quite as fond of the book itself. Ivan was great, but surprised me, since my children read all the Animorph books. Such a different direction for Applegate!
