Valerie Sherrard: September 2009
http://valeriesherrard.blogspot.com/2009_09_01_archive.html
Sunday, September 13, 2009. There's a GOLDFISH In My Shoe! Is it really a whole year since the first picture book came out? Apparently, yes. And now the second one is in bookstores. I like to believe that the story is fun, but it's the off-the-wall zaniness of the illustrations that I think will really appeal to children. They are wild and crazy and quirky enough to delight kids and adults alike. For example, when Oscar's mom tires of his endless chatter and tells him to hold his tongue .

MadTales: The Blue Helmet
http://madjennyflintsmadtales.blogspot.com/2006/09/blue-helmet.html
Tuesday, September 12, 2006. Http:/ www.orillia.org/williambell/. I really liked this one. It is interestingly similar to Eric Walter's new book from this year. Though I think I might like this one better. There are elements of dogma about Walters that I didn't find here. Quite a short and a gripping read that will, I think, go over well for both male and female readers. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). 101 Ways to Dance. 25 Pains of Kennedy Baines.
