And I...I loved Beekle--heartprint book all the way. And I was so surprised by that, as I don't really associate that kind of poignant heartprint quality with Dan Santat's work. (And that's not meant to be a knock on Santat--I LOVE his work!) I loaned Beekle to one of my students and she said her four year old "read" it at least a dozen times while she had it. And it looks like a four year old read it a dozen times too, LOL. (I might have to buy another copy.) I think I am still scarred from reading Of Mice and Men. I love Travels with Charley, but otherwise, Steinbeck brings me down in a big way. Hoping my library will get Aviary Wonders--I'm curious after reading reviews.Elisabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18185908392196878158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2202949130902554989.post-61088653724465093862014-05-06T01:03:20.309-04:002014-05-06T01:03:20.309-04:00I loved Aviary Wonders Inc as well!

Thank you for your favourite tweet round up for the #WeNeed DiverseBooks campaign.

Adventures of Beekle also looks wonderful. Of Mice and Men was one of my favourite films of all time when I was in the university, I would have to read the book soonest. My Name is Jason looks very interesting too.GatheringBookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04477710897574769648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2202949130902554989.post-47089899584293986292014-05-05T20:08:47.025-04:002014-05-05T20:08:47.025-04:00This is the third post with Beckle this week - I M...This is the third post with Beckle this week - I MUST read it! I enjoyed Have you Seen My Dragon? Was a little disturbed by Aviary Wonders - I found it extremely creative but just a little weird! I hung on to every word Judy Blume wrote when I was a teen. You have now inspired me to re-read them all! Thanks, Beth!

It was a blind read and definitely not something I usually read but glad I did.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
