#IMWAYR
The weekly post where I recap some of the KidLit books I’ve been reading. Ocasionally, I’ll also talk about some adult fiction books as well.
Be sure to check out Teach Mentor Texts and Unleashing Readers to see what other Kidlit readers are reading. Because, you know, we can never have too many books in our TBR piles.

Picture Books

I am always on the lookout for great spooky-funny books. This one had be belly laughing. I loved the illustrations and the rhyme was spot-on. Highly recommend.

I love it when Jane Yolen comes out with a bird picture book (and she’s got a few) because I know that the writing will be top notch and there will be fantastic nonfiction back matter. On Duck Pond does not disappoint. The illustrations are beautiful too.

Simon & Schuster Books for Young Readers, 2018
Oh my goodness! What a cute book! I loved the illustrations. There is just so much to see and discover on each page. And the story–one of going unnoticed–is something that I think many kids can easily relate to.
Poetry
by JooHee Yoon
Enchanted Lion Books, 2015
JooHee Yoon has selected a fantastic set of animal poems for this book. Her wonderfully colorful artwork is just amazing. This would make an excellent addition to any poetry classroom.

Twig looks SO cute! And I would love to read On Duck Pond. I was wondering if I should read book #1 in that series first, or if book #2 is a good stand alone. Since we don't have On Duck Pond locally, I'll see if I can get my hands on On Bird Hill. Thanks so much for all the shares, this week!
