It's Monday! What are you reading? is hosted by Sheila of Book Journey. Jen & Kellee from Teach Mentor Texts have adapted this to focus on Picture Books to Young Adult Books.
Yes, I got this post in while it is still Monday! Better late than never. I have been doing a lot of re-reading lately so I'll just share some favorite new reads of 2013.
Extreme Babymouse by Jennifer L. Holm and Matt Holm (Random House)
The Dark by Lemony Snicket; Illustrated by Jon Klassen (Little, Brown Books - releases 4/13)
The Yuckiest, Stinkiest, Best Valentine Ever by Brenda Ferber; Illustrated by Tedd Arnold (Dial Books for Young Children) - Just a fun Valentine picture book with characteristic Tedd Arnold illustrations.
Brave Girl: Clara and the Shirtwaist Makers' Strike of 1909 by Michelle Markel; Illustrated by Melissa Sweet (Balzer & Bray)- I read this book for the Nonfiction Picture Book 2013 challenge. I loved Sweet's illustrations.
I am hoping to get to Navigating Early by Claire Vanderpool (Delacorte Books for Young Children) - I have heard so many good things about this one.
So what are you reading?
Snicket and Klassen together? Cool. I will be eager to get my hands on all of these.
ReplyDeleteI may have to take a look at Brave Girl. I find that period of history fascinating.
ReplyDeleteNavigating Early looks good. I'm reading an ARC of The Culling right now. It's pretty good.
ReplyDeleteI agree - Snicket and Klassen sounds like an amazing team!
ReplyDeleteI have Navigating Early on my list to read soon also. I hope to read Extreme Baby Mouse today. Brave Girl looks good. I just learned what a shirtwaist was by reading Hattie Ever After.
