Flip-o-rama!

Reading out loud!

Slogged through the Picture of Dorian Gray while wait listed at the library for Ghost. My reward: finished Dorian last night. Ghost came in this morning. Sweet reading!

I love Thyra Heder's books. Alfie makes a perspective change mid book and makes one consider our responsibilities toward our pets and empathy for animals. Nominated for the 2018 Washington children's choice picture book award.

Nominated for the 2019 Washington children's choice picture book award. Kids will love the little heroic horse in war time.

Soaking up stories from the 18th century.

Dav Pilkey and Dan Santat - this right here.

Came across this book while weeding the Everybody section. It's a keeper.
