It's Monday March 18th

It's Monday - time to update my blog with my weekly reading efforts.

The Nerdbery Challenge continues - and I collect two more gems. This takes me to 70/92! 



Poetry:
Meh. While I think kids will like it, I had to force myself to finish it. Maybe I just wasn't in the mood?


Picture Books:

Cat Tale had interesting illustrations and a fun spin on homophones. Some reviewers complained that there was a mismatch between the younger child style of illustrations and older language skills, but I think that will actually be helpful for my kids. I plan to use it with my second graders.

Nelson Mandela was amazing. Gorgeous and simple telling of a life.


Science Fiction:
