So, where do I begin? Any recommendations?
Finally, I would love to know which books you have read. Our good friend The Bookworm's blog is private now but she started this and I am so grateful! So, if you are interested in playing along, let's keep it going a little at a time until we get through the top 100.

i love tuesday (its wordless) and harry the dirty dog! the rest weren't mine or the girls faves. I liked cloudy with a chance of meatballs but my youngest didn't. my oldest thought it was ok kinda funny!
Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs has a movie coming out soon.
Stinky Cheese man is a great one to do with other fairy tales, as it's a book of fractured fairy tales.
Harry the Dirty Dog is just fun.
Mike Mulligan is a good story about persistance. My kids love it.
Tuesday is a fun one about frogs, there's no words, so it's fun to make up your own.
Jumanji also has a movie and a sequel Zathura
That is awesome! My daughter will only read books SHE picks out. We've read several of these, but I'm going to look up the whole list.
Also, Miss Nelson is Missing was one of my favorites back in the day.
Tuesday is a wordless book, but it's neat.
Tuesday is one of my favorites. David Wiesner is the best! I love reading it to a small group and letting the kids tell me what they think is happening on each page.
I recommend Anansi and the Moss-Covered Rock and Zomo the Rabbit, to read along with Why Mosquitos Buzz in People's Ears. I have the kids make storyteller hats when we do African Folk Tales. We color pictures of animals from the stories, and paste them to our hats each week. I wear one too. I can give you the coloring sheets I have.
Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs and Miss Nelson is Missing are probably G's favorite from this list. I think Harry the Dirty Dog is cute.
Our favorites from this list are 47, 32 and 55. I personally like 32 a lot - and now we read another book in this series - Giggle, Giggle. Quack. Happy Reading!
NEAT!
You're awesome!
Have fun and I'll join in if I can!!! (I HOPE I can!)
