What a great text to share with students when launching reader’s workshop. Finally, the personal connections that many students made to the Book Hog, though different than their initial thoughts, were powerful and important. ![]() As they began to discover the answers to their wonderings AND to draw conclusions based on the story, there were many AHA moments for students. Students posed great wonderings during the initial reading of the story. ![]() Students quickly recognized the colors on the cover and the illustrations as being very similar to The Watermelon Seed, also by Pizzoli, and they were excited to dive in and learn about the Book Hog. I am a book hog, are you a book hog? This was the question posed to students as we began Greg Pizzoli’s new book, The Book Hog. ![]() ![]() ![]() K-Gr 4Duck and his comical cohorts return in another zany tale. Readers and listeners both will delight in Lewin’s typically comic bold-lined illustrations and in Farmer Brown’s folly, even as they (and their parents) recognize the familiar power struggles. Composed of short sentences printed in large type, the entertaining story is well suited to new readers, who will stretch for the few vocabulary words ( meteorology, for example). ![]() ![]() Kids who know Duck from the first titles won’t be surprised at all that the wily bird only appears to be compliant his secret revenge (a much-altered corn maze) is revealed in a final, laugh-out-loud gatefold illustration. ![]() Only Duck is unmoved, and it’s only after Farmer Brown threatens to withhold Duck’s favorite food that he finally agrees to help. Here, Brown eagerly prepares for the annual Corn Maze Festival, and he invents Tom Sawyer–like tactics to convince the animals to lend a hoof or wing. The creators of the immensely popular series that began with Caldecott Honor Book Click, Clack, Moo: Cows That Type (2001) continue the story of Farmer Brown and his barnyard full of insubordinate animals. By Grade + Interest - K to 1st By Grade + Interest - 2nd to 3rd By Grade + Interest - 4th to 5th ![]() ![]() ![]() The Snow Queen in particular is fascinating - a retelling of the Hans Christian Anderson fairytale, remade into space opera. ![]() While it’s hardly high literature - Tangled Up in Blue is, in particular, quite campy - and some aspects of it are quite dated, the series is just as enjoyable on a second read. I’ve been re-reading Joan Vinge’s The Snow Queen series lately - or rather, re-reading the The Snow Queen and The Summer Queen, interspersed with two books I hadn’t read previously: the prequel Tangled Up in Blue and the book in between the two Queens, World’s End. It lets neglect and decay and monstrous injustice go unchecked. Love and hate don’t stand a chance against it. It makes everything it touches meaningless. “Indifference, Gundhalinu, is the strongest force in the universe. “Indifference.” Jerusha surprised herself with the answer. ![]() “But what force in the galaxy is stronger than she is?” Winter is a bit like sickness or injury: an enforced stillness, a reckoning of our own fragility amid the blank face of the universe. Ice rattles against the window panes and turns the slate walk into sheer treachery. ![]() ![]() When was Danny Goodwin drafted?ĭanny Goodwin was drafted by the Chicago White Sox in the 1st round (1st) of the 1971 MLB June Amateur Draft from Peoria HS (Peoria, IL) and the California Angels in the 1st round (1st) of the 1975 MLB June Amateur Draft from Southern University and A&M College (Baton Rouge, LA).

For someone (like me) who likes to collect all of the stories by her favourite authors, collections like this are a lot more handy than trying to find the single issues of the comics (often years after the fact). Most of them don't last long enough to have enough issues to make up a graphic novel (due to their lack of selling power), but collecting a selection of short runs by a well-known author can work from a marketting perspective. There should definitely be more compilations of this sort published, not only because there's so much god material out there to be collected, but also because it's hard to find copies of some of the one-shot story arcs that get published. ![]() ![]() ![]() He has a heart of ice…but for her, he’d burn the world.Īlex Volkov is a devil blessed with the face of an angel and cursed with a past he can’t escape.ĭriven by a tragedy that has haunted him for most of his life, his ruthless pursuits for success and vengeance leave little room for matters of the heart.īut when he’s forced to look after his best friend’s sister, he starts to feel something in his chest:Ī fire that could end his world as he knew it.Īva Chen is a free spirit trapped by nightmares of a childhood she can’t remember.īut despite her broken past, she’s never stopped seeing the beauty in the world…including the heart beneath the icy exterior of a man she shouldn’t want. ![]() Synopsis for Twisted Love (from Goodreads): ![]() Series Review: Is this series worth your time?

There are many thoughts running around in my head about this book and it's hard to decide how to write a review without sounding completely insensitive. I seem to be in the minority on this one. ![]() ![]() But it also demonstrates one young woman’s strength as she navigates the disappointment and unbearable pains of adolescence, of first love and first heartbreak, of friendships broken and rebuilt, and while learning to embrace a power of survival she never knew she had hidden within her heart.
