It's Monday! What are you reading? is hosted by Sheila of Book Journey. Jen from Teach Mentor Texts and Kellee and Ricki from Unleashing Readers have adapted it to focus on Picture Books to Young Adult Books.
Here is what jumped out of the pile this week...
Zombie in Love 2+1 by Kelly DiPucchio; Illustrated by Scott Campbell (Atheneum Books for Young Readers, December 30, 2014) - I loved Zombie in Love and was hoping that this one lived up to the first one. It did! Yay! It was wonderful. It made me laugh aloud. I want to share it with everyone.
Bone by Bone: Comparing Animal Skeletons by Sara Levine; Illustrated by T. S. Spookytooth (Millbrook Press) - A book kids will really enjoy. I love the first two lines: "Have you ever wondered what we would look like if we didn't have any bones? It wouldn't be pretty."
Bugs and Bugsicles: Insects in the Winter by Amy S. Hansen; Illustrated by Robert C. Cray (Boyds Mills Press) - Another book that children will find entertaining and fascinating. Favorite line: "She isn't dead. She isn't really asleep. She's a bugsicle. "
The Promise by Nicola Davies; Illustrated by Laura Carlin (Candlewick) - "...and I understood the promise I had made. I held a forest in my arms, and my heart changed." - This line really touched me as I read this book.
And, here is the book stack that I am working on, and Holmes just had to come check it out when I was taking a picture...
