First Kiss? Yuck!

In Froggy's First Kiss by Jonathan London, Froggy gets a kiss in school!  I hope that never happens to me!  We like this book because Froggy is always funny and does silly things, especially around Frogilina. His cheeks turn red and he looks embarrassed about being in love! Yuck!  We love Froggy books, even about a kiss!

Can you whistle?



Whistle for Willie by Ezra Jack Keats is a great book if you can or can't whistle.  Peter tries and tries to whistle so he can call his dog.  The book is a lesson in grit.  Does he finally learn?  Read this book to find out!

Owen by Kevin Henkes

This book is one of our favorites!  We love Owen and everything he does in this story, especially when he puts his toy in the toilet!  Who wouldn't think that is funny?  Owen does not want to give up his fuzzy , yellow blanket, but he has to go to school.....What will he do?

Woolbur written by Leslie Helakoski and illustrated by Lee Harper



We love Woolbur!  He is a great sheep and never does what everyone else does!  His Maaaaa and Paaaaa are worried the whole book, but his Grandpaaaaa is not!  Our favorite was when he died his own wool while it was still on his body!  Woolbur always does his own thing and we love him for that.

Tonight on the Titanic by Mary Pope Osborne

We love Magic Tree House books and this is one of our favorites!  This book is fiction ( it is a MAGIC tree house!) and Jack and Annie are on the Titanic when it is sinking!  They could not find the tree house and were worried about getting stuck there.  Read the book to find out what happens!
