Notes:
The most requested read-aloud this month from Sam was The Story About Ping and Pretzel. For Peter, it was Hand, Hand, Fingers, Thumb. Best picture books from the month: Love Is…, Good Dog, Carl, and A Ball for Daisy. David Wiesner continues to be one of the strangest authors we’ve read, but some of his illustrations are just amazing.



Some of my favorites are on your list this month. =)
We did The Story About Ping with the Five in a Row curriculum a few years ago. Loved it!
