So, my dogs were in and out of my office checking in with me.
I keep picture books all around me.
I left choices for the dogs from books I’ve recently read on the floor.
What books are the dog leaning into?
Maggie: Banksy Graffitied Walls and Wasn’t Sorry. by Fausto Gilberti. It’s a biography and very funny.
Chili: I’m Not Missing by Kashelle Gourley and Skylar Hogan. A great book for dog owners. Lots of fun humor.
I’m team Balderdash! John Newberry and the Boisterous Birth of Children’s Books by Michelle Markel and Nancy Carpenter. I re-read it this week. I’m trying to find a resource listed in the book. I need a super hero, so I’ll probably check in with a librarian soon!
Hope you find a good book to read on both stormy and non-stormy days.
It’s Friday and time for Perfect Picture Book Friday! Here’s my PPBF selection: Hiding Phil Author and Illustrator Eric Barclay Scholastic Press, 2013 Fiction Suitable for: Ages 3-5 Topics/Themes: Friendship, Pets, Elephants
Opening Line: Look! An elephant!
Synopsis (from the jacket): Meet Phil. He’s an elephant. One day he meets three friends. They have so much fun with Phil that they decide to take him home. Their parents will love Phil, right? WRONG! Kids will fall over laughing at this great read-aloud story.
Why I like this book: It’s a quick, simple read. It takes longer to soak up the illustrations than it does to read the book. I didn’t type this one out to check the word count, but found one website that listed Hiding Phil at 85 words! This book definitely has the “read again” factor. We found this at the library, but will eventually add this one to our home bookshelf.
