Grumpy Gloria (Children's Book) AND I'm Not Reading! (Children's Book)


Author/Illustrator: Anna Dewdney

Publisher: Viking

ISBN: 0670061239

Obtained: ILL Library copy

Why this book:

Love Anna Dewdney's other work so had to try this one.

Comments:

I LOVE that Gloria's a bulldog. My sis's dog (the one I've been training), is a bulldog mix. In addition, the story was cute. It has great vocab, as usual for a Dewdney book. Also like other Dewdney books, this one has a nice sing-song rhyming rhythm.  I'm definitely glad I requested it.


Author/Illustrator: Jonathan Allen

Publisher: Boxer Books

Series: Baby Owl, Bk6

ISBN: 9781907967443

Obtained: Library copy

Why this book:

It looked cute and had the word “reading” in the title.

Comments:

Owl sits down to read to Owly, but then Tiny Chick comes.  That's fine but then more and more come until finally Baby Owl is NOT READING!  It's a nice story with a happy ending.  I think part of what I liked was that "baby" owl was reading to other children.  I liked the idea of sharing literacy, even at a young age.  Maybe especially at a young age.
