It's been a busy week with Ash Wednesday and my birthday. Also we lost an hour as we turned the clocks forward. But, all of these things are the beginning of the process toward Spring. So, while it's still cold and gray, there is the promise of warmer days and much more light. The extended forecast for our area next week even shows a few days in the 50s and even the lower 60s. Something to look forward to.... But in the meantime, here's what I've been reading this past week...
Middle Grade Fiction
This middle grade adventure novel tells the story of a young man, Ronald Zupan, who finally gets the opportunity to go on a daring adventure. When his parents go missing on his birthday, he realizes that they're in extreme danger. With the help of his friend, Julianne, and his butler and his pet snake, he embarks on a rescue mission to Borneo. Young adventure fans that like Indiana Jones-type stories will enjoy riding along to the jungles where our gang faces dangerous animals, intense weather, and menacing pirates in order to rescue his parents.
Picture Books
Both avid sports fans and ambivalent sports participants will get a "kick" out of this cute picture book that shares "the most important" tips about playing soccer. Max has been playing on the soccer team for a few weeks and is now an expert on the game - how to dress, the kinds of plants and insects you'll find on the soccer team, the best snacks to eat during games, how to wave for photographs. He seems to overlook the most crucial aspects of gameplay - kicking the ball! Young readers will definitely giggle with this one. This could be a good mentor text for young writers looking to create their own "expert guides".
This cute picture book is trying to become more adventurous and less fearful. The interactive nature of this book will appeal to young readers as the book itself is afraid of what might be lurking in its pages. The humorous text and vibrant illustrations make this a good one to share with young readers, especially at the library, where they might find just the types of exciting books mentioned!
This clever picture book reminds readers that even though our world is filled with exciting technology, sometimes the best fun comes from the simplicity of pencil and paper. Pencil and Jackson always had great fun together drawing, until Jackson got Tablet. For a while, Jackson was only interested in Tablet's flashy entertainment and Pencil was tossed into the junk drawer. Pencil and his new friends worked together to convince Jackson to give Pencil another try. Humorous, pun-filled text along with terrific artwork will make this a fun book to share with young children.
This fun picture book imagines a super fun night with a babysitter that is unlike any other. It's often tough to get used to a new babysitter, and the kids in this story are a little unsure if they'll like this one. But when they see all of the way the alien babysitter is so much better than regular babysitters - better food that can be prepared instantly, better homework help, and better games - they can never go back to human babysitters. The digital artwork complements the story well. This might be fun as a read aloud for a babysitter or as a good mentor text for young writers to imagine their own unique babysitter narrative.This fun picture book imagines a super fun night with a babysitter that is unlike any other.

This upbeat, soothing book celebrates all the beauty, wisdom, and wonder to be found in the natural world. And all of this is available to anyone who takes the time to step outdoors and look. As winter starts to finally give way to spring, this would be a terrific book to share with young readers, especially before venturing outdoors to find one's own lessons in nature. The illustrations are gorgeous and will really help young readers appreciate trees, clouds, sunshine, and all the other wonderful things outside.
The author of this lovely picture books really enjoys riding her Arabian horse, Sir William, according to the book's jacket biography. Combined with the softly colored illustrations, these short poems celebrate many different aspects of ponies. This could be a terrific mentor text for young writers trying to take something that is special to them and write their own poetry.
This cute picture book will help young readers pause for a moment and consider ways that we can be better stewards of our planet, especially our oceans. All of the underwater creatures in this story go about their business, especially crab who enjoys baking cakes to share with everybody. But when suddenly a big pile of junk is dumped into their world, it seems as if everything is ruined. Thankfully crab's generous spirit along with the delicious cake brings the community together. And working together they are able to restore their underwater neighborhood and give a message to the rest of us. This book would be great to include in a collection of books about the environment, especially in the days leading up to Earth Day.
With an easy-to-read narrative style, this fascinating picture book takes young readers through seasons with a polar bear as she moves with the sea ice looking for food. The beautiful illustrations and the end note information about climate change and some of the Arctic animals included in the story make this book a good nonfiction resource to inspire further research.
The animals around us have a lot they wish to say if only the people would pay close attention and listen. This fun picture book tells the story of a barnyard full of chickens that one day decide to start sharing their opinions in writing: they're tired of eating salads, they want better names, they love hearing stories about other chickens. After the postal carrier learns of these communicative chickens, the word is spread and everyone wants to know what they have to say. This book could be a good mentor text for young writers to imagine what the animals in their own lives might wish to say. This book would also pair well with the beloved classic, Charlotte's Web by E.B. White.
This fun picture book is a cumulative tale in the style of "The House that Jack Built" that uses Spanish phrases in the repetitions and beautiful illustrations. Everyone is getting ready for a wonderful celebration by making a pinata. But by the time it's finished, it's time for a siesta and nobody gets a chance to fill it up. The book includes a glossary of Spanish words and directions for making your own pinata. This would be a terrific introduction to an art project or just to practice Spanish words and phrases.
It's normal for kids (and grownups) to have self-doubts and to feel like they're not good enough, especially compared to older siblings. Lots of young readers will be able to relate to the little girl in this lovely picture book who feels overshadowed by her older sister. It seems like her older sister is always the best - the finder of lost wedding rings, the knitter of the perfect scarves, and the winner of costume contests. I like the sweet relationship the little girl shares with her grandfather who cheers her up with a story about how everything and everyone is made up of startdust, making all of us stars. This is a nice book to share to help develop a growth mindset.

So many to love, Jana! I will certainly look for From Tree to Sea, The Pinata That The Farm Maiden Hung, Stardust, and Pencil, among others! Between your post & others, my list grows! Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteWhat a delightful collection of picture books! I'm especially interested in Sea Bear: A Journey for Survival by Lindsay Moore and From Tree to Sea by Shelley Moore Thomas, & Christopher Silas Neal.
ReplyDeleteAs always, each time I visit your blog I'm left with so many books I want to read! I was absolutely pony OBSESSED as a little girl, so an entire book of pony poems (especially one with such lovely illustrations) would have made me squeal with delight. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing The Danger Gang series, Jana. I've never heard of this and it sounds like something my kiddos might enjoy. I'm also excited to learn of Pencil and I just LOVE the cover of Stardust! Have a wonderful reading week!
ReplyDeleteI have quite a few of these books in the pile next to me right now! They'll be in my next Monday post :) The Max stories are so fun. Kids loved the soccer one - I got to share it with third and fourth grade readers last week.
ReplyDeleteThere are a few here I've been wanting to read. I was curious about Borrowing Bunnies so I'm glad to read your thoughts.
ReplyDeleteSo many great books, but From tree to Sea caught my eye - it looks gorgeous. Will have to find that in our library. Happy Birthday! You are a March birthday celebrant, too! :)
ReplyDeleteI should read Crab Cake. I've only heard good things.
ReplyDeleteOuch! Reading this is going to cost me and my school the rest of our book buying budget. I enjoyed reading about all of the PBs that you had here and will need to engage in a difficult prioritizing session.
ReplyDeleteThe Danger Gang looks like fun too, and I was thinking of Indiana Jones as soon as I saw that cover. I guess I am not the only one! Thanks for the terrific post!
I just got Max also, and I look forward to read it with Trent! :)
ReplyDeleteHappy reading this week!
