Oh, and our new favorite things:
Wild About Books by Judy Sierra. If you're into books, this is a fabulous one. Here's the review: PreS-Gr. 2. In this rollicking story, librarian Molly McGrew accidentally drives her bookmobile into the zoo, and then the fun begins! The animals draw close to listen to a Dr. Seuss story, and soon they begin stampeding "to learn all about this new something called reading." Many picture-book authors who try their hands at rhyme have less-than-stellar results. Here, the best part of the book is Sierra's handy way with a rhyming text that not only scans properly but also is both clever and full of images that will amuse children ("Tasmanian devils found books so exciting / That soon they had given up fighting for writing").And my kids' new favorite song (we listen to it ALL the time) is from Dog Train, by Sandra Boynton. I can totally understand why adults would like it, but kids? It's called, "I Need a Nap."
