I'm trying to be pickier about the picture books-so many out there that it's time to choose well. Snicker is good, and I'd probably enjoy it more if I had more time to read faster. I am also reading The Graveyard Book with a group now & have read it before, but forgotten how wonderful Neil Gaiman is. So both books plus some other PD work takes a lot of time. I imagine A Snicker of Magic will be good.

I also loved Soccer Star - It made for a very powerful interactive read aloud with my students. I need to find Papa's Song - just the cover looks so gorgeous! I echo everyone else here - some really gorgeous books on your list this week! Are you enjoying Snicker of Magic? I'm slightly afraid to read it with all of the hype.

Soccer Star and My Name is Celia are definitely two additional titles that I must consider including in my multicultural text-set - they both look wonderful, as well as Lila and the Secret of Rain. The Floyd Cooper book cover looks gorgeous too! So many great titles, Linda, truly.

There is a book about a young girl whose mother got custody, but kept leaving the girl alone in their trailer-& had another baby too. I cannot remember the title, but it was heartbreaking. It's something I hadn't thought of, but there have been several. Beholding Bee is one of them. I'll let you know about Snicker!Linda Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14983144542632353870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-319624163132382197.post-70606445522147813622014-04-21T19:51:16.576-06:002014-04-21T19:51:16.576-06:00Linda, I haven't read the I Haiku You book yet...Linda, I haven't read the I Haiku You book yet, so you aren't any later than me!
