Monday what are you reading pic

Hi again fellow Lit. Mates!

Its Monday I have been reading take a look maybe you have read some of these titles?

This week I especially liked

Knight History’s Greatest Warriors

  • This children historical book is about Sir Camelot and Charlemagne’s Cavalry’s story in  high detail and for the most part was explicit with out being scary. The pictures are high pixel pictures and are on every page.

The Pigeon Finds a Hot Dog by Mo Williams

  • Not one of my favorites this week, I had a difficult time focusing on this short simple picture book. It is a story of a pigeon who finds a hot dog and is out witted by a crafty Mama bird who eats the hot dog.

That is not a good Idea by Mo Williams

  • This is a Golden Sower award winner from 2015-2016. This is story that I will add to my personal library!  It tells a tale of a Mother duck who makes dinner out of fox who tries to make dinner out of her!

Leonardo the Terrible Monster  by Mo Williams

  • Fun read about a  not terrible monster.  In the end after the reader feels incredibly sorry for this very tender monster who wants nothing more than to be scary and cannot be, the monster is able to find his true calling and that is helping others.

Don’t Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus by Mo Williams

  • Another of his greats this story won A Caldecott Award.  In this the pigeon of his other books in a comic story fashion every way it can to drive a bus.  Thank heavens the bird is not able to find a way to drive off into the sunset!

Knuffle Bunny Free by Mo Williams

  • Yes Another Mo Williams book.  This one I actually enjoyed reading more than all the rest of his books so far.  It is a larger children’s picture book filled to the brim with colorful pictures.  It is a story of a bunny who is lost, found and given away again by his owner, to comfort a different child.

  2. I really like your books reviews this week! I also thought it was a wonderful idea to take a picture of the books and then post that picture… I seem to like any children’s book that involves ducks and it seems like a few of yours did so I think that’s what attracted me so much to your list this week! Looking forward to another post!

  3. I love Mo Willems’ books, too. I think they are hilarious, as well as easy d fun to read. I had no idea, though, that there was another Knuffle Bunny book. I cannot wait to find it at the library and check it out. It was not in today when I checked. Leonardo the Terrible Monster sounds really cute, as well. I really like the way you reviewed it as a monster trying to be something he is not, but finding something he is good at, even though it is not what all of the other monsters are doing. Kudos! I think this would be a good book for youngsters who are trying to find something they can excel at. What do you think?

  4. I thoroughly enjoyed how you chose a single author and read a variety of books by her. I read “Knuffle Bunny Too” a couple weeks back and loved it! Have you read this one? Mo Williams has a few books based on the same characters and subjects. I find this a wonderful idea because it is as if they are a book series for the younger elementary ages. My favorite author so far is Jane Yolen. She writes in a similar style to Williams. I also agree with Revisiting Childhood on the idea of posting a picture at the end of your reads. This is a wonderful way to bring a cover and image to the title you explain above! You did a wonderful job with your reviews this week.

    1. Thank you! I have been trying put a word to the style of the authors who use the same character in multiple stories, I like how you termed it…”it’s little like a series”. YOur right a child can become attached to the characters that are in books like MO Williams’.

  5. Mo Williams is such a great author! I really enjoy reading his books. I want to get a few for my sons library. I think you did a great job of summarizing the stories for us readers because you told us who we might feel after reading the story.
