Wow, I didn't know about The Riverman being a trilogy. I hesitated to imagine anything about the cats because I didn't want to give anything away. It was all so strange!

I have Riverman and I'm hoping to get to it before the year is out. Sounds intriguing from all of the reviews! I adore Sternberg's Eleanor series. I think you'll like the other 2. Her way with words is so fun! The third one is my favorite in the series.

I also have just finished reading The Riverman and would post a longer review for our upcoming reading theme. I was tempted to give it a 3 out of 5 in Goodreads because of the ending which was unsatisfactory for me - but as you said it's a novel that would grip the reader's sensibilities and would not let go, plus I just found out that it's the first book in a trilogy, which made it even more interesting. I'm intrigued by the cats in the latter part of the story and the missing children. Hmmm... <br /><br />Fats has also shared Archie's War and written a lovely review about the book. I shall have to find that one soon. :)GatheringBookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04477710897574769648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-319624163132382197.post-29971751658187457082014-08-18T20:19:24.859-06:002014-08-18T20:19:24.859-06:00Thanks Ricki.

I ...A wonderful and diverse list this week, Linda! I LOVE the book "If" - and have a lesson in my Reading Power book using it to promote questions and then create their own "If" page! I'm intrigued with The Riverman - perhaps a bit old for the students I have but I am interested in reading it for myself. I love books that invite us to think! Tea Party Rules reminds me of The Cookie- Bite size lessons series by Amy Krouse Rosenthal. I'm excited to see the Poetry book when it comes out in a few weeks. Thanks for ALL these great books, Linda!

I generally don't like alphabet or counting books and struggle to find titles to share in my Children's Lit class (my students often want nothing but alphabet and counting books!) but this sounds like one I'd love and be excited to share. I reread Snail & Fish to my son this week: it's on my top 10 all-time PB list (a list that exists only in my head!). I really like Julie Sternberg's series. The most recent title might be my favorite. They've been great readalouds with my older son too. Hope you have a terrific week!
