In My Mailbox (69)

In My Mailbox is a weekly meme hosted by The Story Siren

Another vlog this week in which I talk about a lot of books and entertain you with big words. I also talk about authors (well, one in particular) who entertain kids by pouring stuff over their heads:

Books mentioned:
Dork Diaries Tales from a Not-So-Talented Pop Star by Rachel Renee Russell
Bad Kitty Gets a Bath by Nick Bruel
The Doppelganger Chronicles: The First Escape by G.P. Taylor
The Guardians of Ga'Hoole: The Capture by Kathryn Lasky
 My Friend is Sad and Can I Play Too? by Mo Willems
 Kali's Song by Jeanette Winter
C.R. Mudgeon by Leslie Muir, illustrated by Julian Hector
Au Revoir, Crazy European Chick by Joe Schreiber (audiobook)
The Trouble with Poetry and Other Poems by Billy Collins
Poetry 180: A Turning Back to Poetry compiled by Billy Collins

Blog posts mentioned in my vlog:
An Evening with Billy Collins
Adam Rex "celebrating" his win as March Book Madness Champion

I also mentioned in my vlog that my dog Frank is a curmudgeon (see? big word). This is a perfect example of his curmudgeon-iness. He was mad that he got a bath and that his bed was put in the wash, so he went to mope in his toy basket:

  3. Hi there Beth, I always enjoy visiting your mailbox. :) A lot of familiar reads. Mo Willems! How great to see a few picture books in mailboxes, very refreshing! My ten year old daughter also love Dork Diaries. I think she has the complete set. The Billy Collins book finds are perfect for National Poetry Month, I've read a few of his poems and loved it. I'm particularly interested though with The Doppelganger Chronicles, looks really nice! Have fun with your new reads.
