It seems that when a book is SO close to being spot on, but misses in one major way, that someone should have spotted that issue early on. <br />I guess what I'm saying is: can my side job be reading and advising on children's lit?!

The publisher, First Second, is one to watch for outstanding graphic novels. <br /><br />I used to think reading the same title on repeat would bore me to death, but there is something so special to reading to someone you love, no matter how much you would rather read something, anything, else ;) I am looking forward to reading the Mercy Watson series at home! <br />Nicole L.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16803189343078878170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2318945445088870128.post-6335472083626169792017-01-31T07:50:12.111-05:002017-01-31T07:50:12.111-05:00Ha!

So interesting, and shows how our understanding of the world around us is always changing. There is a cool note in the back about "facts" changing as they were writing the book. I've yet to read the newest one on Bats. There will be one on dogs soon as well-sure to be a hit!Nicole L.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16803189343078878170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2318945445088870128.post-20914594138633109042017-01-31T07:44:06.953-05:002017-01-31T07:44:06.953-05:00I think you'll like Cloud and Wallfish, and I&...I think you'll like Cloud and Wallfish, and I'd be interested to hear your take on readership!Nicole L.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16803189343078878170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2318945445088870128.post-29612369252520217742017-01-30T23:19:52.495-05:002017-01-30T23:19:52.495-05:00Enjoy Ghost!

My son rarely wants to hear a title twice, but he makes an exception for Mercy Watson--all of which we've read multiple times.

We have a 50-book limit, and I used to wonder who on Earth could ever want to check out that many books. And then I met parents with small children who devour books like popcorn, and I totally get it! :-)Jane @ www.raincitylibrarian.cahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12721142460522914540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2318945445088870128.post-15105245086610534652017-01-30T06:47:55.095-05:002017-01-30T06:47:55.095-05:00Cloud and Wallfish seems to be everywhere!

Loved Ghosts and Primates, although it's hard to get Primates checked out! My students complain that the print is too tiny, but it's pretty standard for a graphic novel.
