OCTOBER READING ROUNDUP!

Here's a look at what I read in October. There are two great concept books pictured below. Some of These are Snails by Carter Higgins and 10 Cats by Emily Gravett. If you have a toddler or preschooler in your life, these would make great holiday gifts. Things in the Basement by Ben Hatke was my favorite graphic novel this month. It's aimed at a 3rd - 6th grade audience. It's a little spooky but not super scary. And everyone should read There Was a Party for Langston by Jason Reynolds. It's amazing. 

The new Bluebonnet list will be announced in a few weeks. I'm working on my predictions. And award season is just around the corner! So look for Caldecott and Newbery hopefuls to appear also. 

What book would you give an award to this year?
