Book 442

Splat the Cat, Name of the Game, based on creation by Rob Scotton, illustrated by Robert Eberz, Harper Collins, 2012.

My six-year-old son picked this out to give to a little girl for her birthday. I'm sure he picked it because of the artwork. 

I'm not in love with the text -- some of the word choices are questionable -- but I am in love with the artwork. That Splat is one darn cute cat. 

Book 441

Drop It, Rocket! by Tad Hills, Random House, 2014.

A few weeks ago I was working at the Book Fair at my Kindergartener son's school.  I had to buy this book so that I could justify buying the little Rocket dog that went with it.

This book (and Rocket) are adorable.  My son can read this book pretty easily, so I didn't buy it as a challenge for him.  I bought it because it is a fun book to read over and over again.  And did I mention how adorable that Rocket dog is?

Book 440

Otis's Busy Day, by Loren Long, Penguin Young Readers, 2014.

We were in the store today to pick out books for a little girl's birthday.  My Kindergarten son picked out this book -- I don't think it was for the little girl.  On the way home, he read it to us -- perfectly.

This Easy Reader has a little bit of a story, and fabulous illustrations.  You just can't go wrong with an Otis book.

Thomas' Third 171st Story

1.          171.     Once upon a time, there was a Thomas named Thomas.  Thomas had a great day.  Thomas had a great day because he was on top of a cloud.
