Read Aloud Thursday–Pets, Veggies, & an Egotistical King

September 8, 2011 by Amy 14 Comments

 I’m sharing some more new 2011 picture books today.  I can’t really express how gleeful I am over reading so many great new titles with my girls.  🙂 One of the children who lives at the House of Hope is very frightened of animals, dogs in particular.  The other one, however, would love to have … [Read more…]

Read Aloud Thursday–More 2011 Picture Books::Animals and an Animal Lover

September 1, 2011 by Amy 10 Comments

I am very pleased to have the opportunity to share a book with you that is slated to be released in October.  This is somewhat unusual for me, since I’m usually behind the curve instead of ahead of it when it comes to reading.  However, when we saw Carmen Agra Deedy at our local storytelling festival … [Read more…]

The Friendship Doll by Kirby Larson

July 5, 2011 by Amy 5 Comments

When I learned that Kirby Larson had written a new book and was offered a chance to review it, I quickly said yes.  I loved Hattie Big Sky (linked to my review) enough to read it again before I interviewed Kirby Larson as a part of a blog tour, so I was naturally very eager to … [Read more…]
