"I" Week Books

2nd Quarter - Week 6


"I" Week Books
The Iguana Brothers by Tony Johnston. Cute story with great illustrations. A little hard to read aloud as the two main characters are Tom & Dom. I found myself stumbling over their names all the time.
It's MY Birthday by Pat Hutchins
Inch by Inch by Leo Lionni
Farmer Boy by Laura Ingalls Wilder

Others we are also reading this week
Wilderness Cat by Natalie Kinsey-Warnock. Nice illustrations, but the story doesn't flow very well.
Tikvah by Patricia Polacco. Of course a well-written story about some neighbors, Jewish Sukkoth (?), cats, and fires near Oakland, CA in the 1990s.
Zella Zack and Zodiac by Bill Peet. Loved this story written in rhyme about an abandoned ostrich chick and friendly zebra.
