I went to the library the other day...see previous post, looking for a book that our neighborhood book club is reading. Well, there were over 100 people on the waiting list for that book, so I searched for something else for ME to read!!! I'm not an avid reader, but I enjoy a good SHORT book every so often and that I have found. When I was student teaching, my lead teacher read the story of "Desperaux" by Kate DeCamillo. LOVED the book (didn't really care so much for the movie) so decided to check out some of her other books, mainly because they were easy reading.
So, I finished "The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane" yesterday as I was watching the boys play ball, and started and have read 1/2 of "The Tiger Rising" during Jake's Allstar practice. All I can say is these books are both GOOD READS and I recommend them to anyone both young and old! In fact, I'm going to read the Edward Tulane book to the boys before school starts. It's such a cute story with a great moral.
Ok, better go so I can finish "The Tiger Rising".
Carry on!
