It's Monday! What are you Reading? is a meme hosted by Kathryn at Book Date. Kellee Moye, of Unleashing Readers, and Jen Vincent of Teach Mentor Texts decided to give It's Monday! What Are You Reading? a kid lit focus. We encourage everyone who participates to visit at least three of the other kid lit book bloggers that link up and leave comments for them.

This week's stack is a collection of titles that I have been wanting to read and finally got my hands on them. Each picture book is one that will make a wonderful read aloud or a mentor text or a springboard for a discussion.
