I love these posts! I read MOSSY by Jan Brett last week and paired it with Steve Jenkins BEETLES Jan has a beetle border in her fabulous Turtle story and the Beetle Book is a good way to compare fiction and non fiction (and to also discuss how Jan did the research for her art) Have a great week.

I read Bear Has a Story to Tell this week, too. I LOVED the illustrations. The Steads are a special team!

We’re making a little bit of progress with the Newbery Challenge as Iphigene has just shared a review of The Cat who went to Heaven – seems like a good companion book for the one you have up here. 🙂
Bear Has a Story to Tell sounds really nice – and might be good as well for our books about books and the river of words theme. Will look for that one in our libraries.

I’ve seen Bear has a Story to Tell on the shelf at my library, I will have to pick it up and just it a read. 🙂 Always looking forward to reading/viewing your Newbery Challenge books!

Thanks for sharing The Cloak Society–I’m looking for an adventure/fantasy book to share with my daughter’s 4th/5th grade class. Do you know when it’s to be published?

The Lunch lady sounds like a “must read” for this middle school teacher. Thanks for sharing!

I’m all for a parody of Picture Day and I’m guessing that Bear is an excellent book given the author and illustrator.
