She really enjoyed Can't You Sleep Little Bear by Martin Waddell. We found the French version at the library. I have a difficult time finding French books that hold her interest so I was thankful to finally find something!
I finally remembered to put Not A Box and Not A Stick on hold. We loved Antoinette Portis' A Penguin Story and we loved both of these too. Very imaginative stories.
Bunny Mail by Rosemary Wells was a cute story of Max wanting a super sand spitter dirt bike and trying to write Santa a letter for one (in August, in spite his older sister Ruby's advice that Santa just doesn't read letters in the summer). The letters end up at his grandma's and she finally figures it out, phones Santa and orders a bike for Max.
We signed out at least 50 books - probably more - I went over my limit and had to use Bear's card. It was a bit embarrassing actually.

Wow! 50 books?! How wonderful! We only get to check out THREE at a time here. :(
ReplyDeleteSounds like everyone this week is getting too many books. I know we did.
ReplyDeleteLittle House books were popular here too.
We love the Little House books here. Great choices!
ReplyDeleteThanks for joining this week! I bet you are happy to be in the States just because of the library access. We read many of the books on your list and enjoyed them as well. My favorite in Bear series of Waddell is the one when they walk through the snow, but I can't remember its name. They are really very cute!
