LOTS of reading this week

On Thursday and Friday, I finally got to read a whole bunch of the new books that came into the library this summer. I decided instead of just reading one novel, to try to read a lot of shorter books. I finally read a Babymouse book and a Who Was biography (some kids call these "big head" biographies because of the crazy pictures on the covers). I liked them both, but since I love biographies--I think I liked my big head Marco Polo better. I also read Yummy--a great fairy tale collection and Once Upon A Time--a nice collection of folk tales from Spanish-speaking countries, and these were both very good. I really like a funny book called What Really Happened to Humpty Dumpty, which was sort of like the True Story of the Three Little Pigs. I read it to a second grade class and we all loved it--including the teachers. I also found a book called Just the Right Size super interesting. It tells why animals are the sizes they are and how this helps them (it turns out that there is a good reason that people cannot walk on ceilings and whales cannot fly).
