It reminded me to check my library and I am very happy that it is finally on order, and I am first in line.<br />Thanks for the rest of these too. Nicky And Vera is another one that the library has on order. <br />I loved Your Place in the Universe too.

I liked Red, White, and Whole, but novels in verse don't do well with my students. They always want more details. I may order it anyway.Testhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00651875070065950865noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-319624163132382197.post-1779406724566416272021-02-22T21:20:21.779-07:002021-02-22T21:20:21.779-07:00You're welcome, enjoy what you can find!

Red, White and Whole sounds great as well—I had a copy of Rajani LaRocca's first book, but I think I got rid of it, so I haven't actually read anything by her yet. The picture books also look wonderful!

I've been hunting for a local copy of Your Place in the Universe without luck. I've really enjoyed Jason Chin's work in the past and this looks just wonderful! I've been watching interviews with Nicholas Winton and I cannot WAIT to read Nicky & Vera. In fact, this is one I should probably buy. Thank you for sharing more about it, Linda! 2Shaye ♪♫https://www.blogger.com/profile/10473467039770299975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-319624163132382197.post-35376219256728644972021-02-22T20:10:54.148-07:002021-02-22T20:10:54.148-07:00You're welcome, Crystal, it's great on Mon...You're welcome, Crystal, it's great on Monday to trade titles, always a joy.Linda Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14983144542632353870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-319624163132382197.post-6477826280825309232021-02-22T20:09:25.468-07:002021-02-22T20:09:25.468-07:00Yes, indeed, Red, White, and Whole is many-layered...Yes, indeed, Red, White, and Whole is many-layered in numerous ways.

And there are so many quotable lines!<br /><br />Also, I really need to read RED, WHITE, AND WHOLE, mainly because it's a novel in verse!Joanne R.

I also put several of the pbs you mentioned on reserve. You know, I adore Jason Chin's books, and this one seems right up my alley--but it actually didn't connect with me. I can see how beautifully it's done, but something about it just...didn't work for me. Something about trying to maybe do too much on every spread? I loved the images, but I think I wanted less text in order to feel the awe and soak up the progression of sizes...laurasalashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13807781795919555208noreply@blogger.com
