We have had some successful library picks this month! I did find several them from a podcast I listen to and some were ones that caught my eye.
From the top picture:
Ratings 1= not so good, 2= OK, 3 = Awesome!!!
Owl Diaries #1: - This is a super cute book. Reading it out loud can be a little annoying with the "owl" made up words - like "owlerrific" but I am improving! There are already 5 or so of these books out. When I went back to get #2 they were all out. We picked up #5 that we are reading now. I do not think it is a series that has to be read in order. The art is adorable and the words per page are not a lot, which makes it perfect for Meli's age (5/6).

Just a Minute: I really enjoyed reading this one. It was very cute! Meli was a little confused as to why the skeleton wanted the grandma to go with her. It had a happy ending though.

Without You: I picked this one, since I have a moody girl. I think the message was understood. Hopefully. Both kids liked the art.

Dog Man: I did not read this book, but Colin did on his own. He loved it!! I got it since it is similar to the Diary of a Whimpy kid books, which Colin has read over and over.

The Parthenon: I loved how this book was organized and the information was great for his age. He is getting into mythology which makes this mom so excited. I did a minor in Greek Civilization, so right up my alley!

We finished the Where the Mountain Meets the Moon. This has been our longest books we have tried to read out loud. Colin and I loved the book! We are excited for the second book. Meli enjoyed it on days that she paid attention more. The author had a very smooth writing style, which I love for read aloud books. I highly recommend this book.

Meli loved all of the books above. I think the best for reading (Meli) are the Otto ones. I got all of these from a list of books that were supposed to be the level (1) that they say they are. I get frustrated with some of the early reading books that say one, but then have way too many words and not the easiest words. The four of these Meli could read on her own, with my help with a few of the words.
Nuts in Space: This was a cute book. The order of reading was a little hard to know with all of the word bubbles. I love the incorporation of Star Wars and Star Trek. Very entertaining.

Very Red Riding Hood: A very cute book.
