My youngest son and I have read Pretty Perfect Kitty-Corn by Shannon Hale and Leuyen Pham at least thirty times in the last week. This book brings him so much joy.
My oldest son (age 9) and I read Who Were the Navajo Code Talkers? by James Buckley Jr. together, each alternating chapters for our read-aloud. I know a lot about the code talkers, but this book offered me more details and was very engaging.
My book club read this book, Lessons in Chemistry by Bonnie Garmus. I loved the integration of science and women’s rights.
My son and I read Jailbreak at Alcatraz by Tom Sullivan. I didn’t know much at all about this moment in history, and I found this book to be fascinating. The illustrations are very well done, and I was hooked. I told my son we would read it across three nights, and we stayed up past his bedtime to finish it.
How Old is Mr. Tortoise by Dev Petty, illustrated by Ruth Chan is a cute, silly story about a tortoise who can’t remember how old he is, and it’s his birthday!
After reading Promise Boys by Nick Brooks, I adopted it for my young adult literature class this semester. I have so much to say about this incredible book, and I will share more in a review next Thursday!

Students keep losing the Tom Sullivan books, which is annoying! I loved Play Like a Girl, and you need to look at the new Hoops by Matt Tavares! Looks like you both had a good reading week. Hope the Kittycorn book doesn’t wear you out!
I’m looking forward to Lessons in Chemistry & the Dictionary of Lost Words. Thanks, Ricki!
I’ve added a couple of these to my list.
I’m so excited to see you reading In the Wild Light. I adored that book and pretty much everything else by Jeff Zentner that I’ve read.
I should try out the Unsolved Case Files series. I think it’s a series, right? Happy reading week.
