Treat Tuesday Abundance

By -


It's time for Treat Tuesday! That is the day when I (and now my sons) share books we are reading and they talk me into letting them eat some candy to go with it. Thanks, Niki - my boys adore you :)

Check out Niki's site at Daydream Reader for her Treat Tuesday post!






UntitledHere are the choices for this slightly snowy Tuesday. Just a bit more and we may have gotten a delay!













Me: 
Creepy Carrots - this one is autographed thanks to the lovely and generous Margie (@loveofxena). I paired Reeses Pieces to accent the orange splashes on the cover. I was thrilled that Creepy Carrots got a Caldecott Honor!
One Dead Spy - Well, maybe I should have found more of an undead treat to fit this book pairing! A wonderful GN that teaches about the American Revolution while entertaining. I loved it!

Older Son - 
Bartimaeus: Ptolemy's Gate - He loves this series because there are funny, witty comments. Sometimes the characters argue, and he loves the snarky humor. 

Younger Son - 
Titan's Curse - by Rick Riordan. (Have I mentioned lately that he's hooked on this series?) 
Rabbit & Robot by Cece Bell. I brought home a few award winners from the library. This goes to show that even strong readers who love things like Riordan will still gravitate toward fun easy reads. Variety is the spice of life and all that.

I'm so excited to be part of the blog tour for Just Harriet - by Elana K. Arnold!

There are a few things you should know about Harriet Wermer: She just finished third grade. She has a perfect cat named Matzo Ball. She doesn’t always tell the truth. She is very happy to be spending summer vacation away from home and her mom and dad and all the wonderful things she had been planning all year. Okay, maybe that last one isn’t entirely the truth. Of course, there’s nothing Harriet doesn’t like about Marble Island, the small island off the coast of California where her Nanu runs a cozy little bed and breakfast. And nobody doesn’t love Moneypenny, Nanu’s old basset hound. But Harriet doesn’t like the fact that Dad made this decision without even asking her. When Harriet arrives

Parent Book Club - Guest Post

Welcome, my friends, to my first ever GUEST POST! My fabulous school librarian (aka @ReaderRoberts ) decided to hold a parent's book club this year, to give parents ideas for getting kids reading. This past week she held the inaugural session, with a  "summer reading"  focus. Let us know what you think!  Parent Book Club - Summer Reading Sometimes your best ideas come to you in a flash.  That is how it was with the parents’ book club.  One afternoon I was sharing a title with a parent volunteer and she ended up checking the book out of the library. Nothing unusual. This happens frequently to all of us when we booktalk.  What was different was that when the parent returned the book she made the remark that I should share this book with everyone. You have probably guessed by now that the book was Wonder by R.J. Palacio. Through the year I have shared many other great titles –many of them discovered through my PLN on Twitter.
