What's out there...

I found some things tonight as I sat down to blog surf ( my awesome husband is making lunches and doing dishes so I can blog...thanks honey...it is all about teamwork here during the week and he is so good about thinking of me. I on the other hand am not so good am not so good at remembering to do nice things for him). I am very excited to order the book A Visitor For Bear by Bonnie Becker after reading Jen Robinson's excellent review. I am always looking for sweet picture books that deal with friendship themes. Also, after popping in to visit The Miss Rumphius Effect, (where I always find wonderful poetry suggestions) I am reserving the books she recommends for colorful poetry. I think my students will especially enjoy Flashy, Clashy and Oh-so Splashy poems. Lastly, I love to read about what other people give as gifts. Mary Lee at A Year of Reading writes about her new favorite baby shower gift, In a Blue Room, and this is perfect timing for me as I have three friends due in the next three months!
