Day 5 Reading Challenge

It is Day 5 of my reading challenge, and I have read 7 books!

"Brown Paper Bear" -MacMillan Children's Books illustrated by Neil Reed
A lovely picture book showing toys of a bygone era, and a little magic from the brown paper bear.

"Fancy Nancy Butterfly Birthday"-Written by Jane O'Connor, illustrated by Robin Preiss Glasser.Just delightful! Loved the illustrations and storyline. A great way of extending vocabulary. Nancy loves using fancy words. Manaia (one of my students) would just love this book!

"The Hardy Boys" Papercutz Graphic Novel #6 Hyde & Shriek
Took me a wee bit to get back into comics! I found it hard to follow at first, not knowing where the next comic strip went. However, once I got the hang of it, I enjoyed the mystery. I am going to use graphic novels this coming year with my older boys.

"Piggity-Wiggity Jiggity Jig" A picture book by Diana Neild, pictures by Phillip Webb.
Delightful! One I will be sharing with my students. The story of a wee pig with a very long name, and the story behind his name.

"CLUBS a Lolly Leopold story"-Kate de Goldi & Jacqui Colley.
This is a sophisticated picture book, and such fun to read! There is so much to read on each page, I was turning the book every way round to read everything! Tells the story of all the clubs Lolly's class have joined.

"Me and My Dad"-by Alison Ritchie pictures by Alison Edgson.
A picture book about the special relationship of a little bear and his dad. I always celebrate Father's Day with my students, so here is another delightful book to add to my collection.

"Our daft Dog Danny"-by Pamela Allen.
A delightful picture book about Uncle Peter, dogs at the beach. Problems, and a great solution. Another book to share!

I am in the middle of "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" -intriguing story!
