I have not read your read aloud and close read – added to my TBR 🙂

Thank you so much for participating.
Oh, you will love Every Day After! Hailstones and Halibut Bones is a great poetry book for teaching and writing metaphors. Tea Rex is just a fun book!! 🙂
Your favorites are perfect! Love them all! 🙂
Awww! Thank you Holly! <3!
I adore Tea Rex! It is one of my new favorites. I have not read Hailstones and Halibut Bones, but the title is intriguing. Every Day After keeps turning up so it’s on my TBR. Great list!
You will love Every Day After! 🙂 I love using Hailstones and Halibut Bones to teach students about metaphors/ word choice.
Niki,
I love your choices. The One and Only Ivan is a must for everyone. Can you believe I haven’t read Babymouse yet? Shame on me. I need to go get a copy.

Oh you MUST read Babymouse! 🙂 So funny and fun!
Every Day After is quickly moving up my list of “must reads”. I’ve heard nothing but wonderful things about this story.
Yes! I read it quickly and you will love it!
I have heard so many great things about Every Day After. It definitely needs to be on my TBR list. I haven’t heard of Tea Rex or Hailstones and Halibut Bones before but now they are on my list!
Wonderful! I hope you enjoy them! 🙂 My second graders laughed so much when I read Tea Rex!
