Treat Tuesday Younglings

Time for Treat Tuesday!

I'm not up for a treat myself today, the boys didn't want to miss the chance to eat... err... share with you today! They took the photos themselves, so they are absolutely magnificent.



Don't forget to visit Niki's Daydream Reader site.. She's sharing The Center of Everything (a book I read over spring break and loved!)

I HATE Picture Books by Timothy Young.
Many people worry about younglings reading "up" because they'll miss out on all the great books that are designed for their age group. While my wee one (in 3rd grade) is devouring anything by Rick Riordan that isn't tied down, he chose to share this awesome picture book with you today. I've shared it with second through fifth graders at work and they all adore it.

"I picked this book because I think it's funny."

Seven Wonders: Colossus Rising by Peter Lerangis

My son is super lucky, because this is my new Book Buddy book selection. I brought it home from the library this weekend and he snatched it up before I could start it. Thankfully, Kathy and I will just be posting about the cover and a prequel this week, so he has time to finish it before I need to steal it back from him. Not that he needs more time.... he started it this morning has already finished it. He gives it a HUGE thumbs up.
In this book Jack passes out into a busy street an is taken to a
strange hospital with odd kids and needs to recover seven magic loculi to cure him and the other kids






I'm currently reading:       I'm currently listening to:     I'm currently NOT eating treats! 
       















I'm also counting this post as a Slice of Life Tuesday. I wanted to get a poem written today, but four hours sleep makes for less than stellar use of imagery and metaphor. I'll be sure to link one up next week! 


I'm participating in the Slice of Life Challenge, hosted by the amazing educators at Two Writing Teachers. Now that March is over, we write and share on Tuesdays. Stop by to see what others are posting!

Also - if you stop by and comment, and you are also slicing - PLEASE feel free to include your URL in the comments. With over 200 people slicing, it is often hard to go find your specific link on the Two Writing Teachers page, and I'd love to come read YOUR slice too!

I'm so excited to be part of the blog tour for Just Harriet - by Elana K. Arnold! ABOUT THE BOOK (From the publisher) From the award-winning author of A Boy Called Bat comes a new young middle grade series in the tradition of Ramona and Clementine, starring an unforgettable girl named Harriet. 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. The Only and Only Ivan , The
