I had a very slow reading week with the start of school this past week. I had a number of late evenings and just did not get any real reading time. I have also held off on a book so that I can add it to my Wednesday Nonfiction Picture Book post.
Here are a couple of highlights from the past week:
Raining Cats and Detectives (Guinea Pig, Pet Shop Private Eye) by Colleen AF Venable - I checked out the Advanced Reader's Copy of the 5th book in Colleen AF Venable's Guinea Pig, Pet Shop Private Eye series. I haven't read the first books in this series, but now I want to read them. I think my students will enjoy this early middle grade graphic novel series.
Chuck Close: Face Book by Francoise Mouly - This middle grade nonfiction book focuses on the artist Chuck Close. Through a series of Questions and Answers, the reader finds out about Close's life and how he creates his art. Fascinating.
One for the Murphys by Lynda Mullaly Hunt - Check out my review of this tomorrow.
So what are you reading this week?
