I haven't pulled any out at home yet, and there are only 10 days left to read them. Hard to believe!! El Deafo is in my top 10 for the year. I also loved Dory Fantasmagory. Brilliant early chapter book--loved how integrated the illustrations were and how much of the story they told.Elisabeth Ellingtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00747914394861199796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-319624163132382197.post-52721518458517691532014-12-15T08:40:12.220-07:002014-12-15T08:40:12.220-07:00I agree about how fast Christmas is coming, Carrie...I agree about how fast Christmas is coming, Carrie-I have to get some things mailed this week.

I read El Deafo with my student book club. Wow, was this a beloved title! I really need to be reading some holiday books. It has been so busy, I haven't dipped into our collection with my own children. This is a reminder that I must. So tonight before we start our novel reading, we will share some favourite holiday books. Christmas has creeped up too quickly this year.Carrie Gelsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08416480940951200461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-319624163132382197.post-63443203722719963052014-12-15T07:12:23.896-07:002014-12-15T07:12:23.896-07:00Funny picture, Kendra.

My husband wasn't quite sure what to do, because like a stubborn child, I just kept reading and holding on to it! I may just have to buy it as a gift for our family. :) Kendrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05470220603745815384noreply@blogger.com
