The Best Place in the World is another special picture book.

Nevertheless, it's a good book that will amaze when reading of all those athletes doing almost unimaginable things. After reading all of Schmidt's books, I would say that the trilogy ties things together, but really goes from one main character to the next with very little action from the previous character. This last one brings a surprise at the very beginning, Aaron. I'm glad you like the picture books, all really special ones!Linda Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14983144542632353870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-319624163132382197.post-50301065115484213872021-02-15T19:09:04.683-07:002021-02-15T19:09:04.683-07:00Wanna know something totally embarrassing?

Somehow I missed the fact that it was part of a trilogy (and I know, for sure, I haven't yet read Okay For Now). I'm relieved to read your post before picking this one back up -- now I'll be better prepared! Sadly, we don't yet have Red, White, and Whole at any of my libraries. I'm feeling like I might need to purchase this one, though. Love your thoughts on The Best Place in the World so I'm adding that one to my list. Thank you for the fantastic post, Linda. I'm so glad we all have some lovely reads to get to during this crazy, frigid, snowy weather!2Shaye ♪♫https://www.blogger.com/profile/10473467039770299975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-319624163132382197.post-45746401502617596442021-02-15T18:17:59.184-07:002021-02-15T18:17:59.184-07:00Thrill Seekers sounds like an exciting read, and C...Thrill Seekers sounds like an exciting read, and Champ and Major: First Dogs sounds like fun as well! I was curious about Just Like That, especially since I read The Wednesday Wars previously, but I completely forgot there was a book in between them called Okay for Now—I might need to cram that in first.

Not sure I love the cover (for kids, I am not sure it will generate as much interest as a photo of one of the women involved in their sport, but who am I to judge a book by its cover) but I would still give it a try. I love all of your picture books this week. I am kind of with Leigh Ann on Gary Schmidt and did not know this was part of a trilogy. I will investigate that one a bit more though, as you say it might be enticing.

How interesting that you can't get those books by Schmidt out to students. I remember mine liking the Wednesday Wars a lot, but years have passed by & new books arrived. Perhaps Just Like That will be enticing?

I am starting to see Just Like That pop up quite a bit lately, but I am not able to get his books to circulate much. Other than Orbiting Jupiter, and I can't keep that one on the shelf!Leigh Anne Eckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10772974035255619503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-319624163132382197.post-73024275510941804672021-02-15T10:19:54.090-07:002021-02-15T10:19:54.090-07:00My local library doesn't even have Just Like T...My local library doesn't even have Just Like That on order.
