I saw Liesl speak again this weekend, and it's fun to hear her talk about the book. I'm glad she has 2 more coming up! I loved Night Flight - the text and illustrations go together so well. I saw your reviews on Goodreads about the Wild Rescue series. I'm intrigued, I'll have to check them out :)Michele Knotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05087579707297009719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8692381227518715081.post-55830966323381896612014-06-02T12:32:45.817-04:002014-06-02T12:32:45.817-04:00Rump is very cute, but I love The League of Prince...Rump is very cute, but I love The League of Princes series by Christopher Healey even more.

He is a seriously struggling reader (a 6th grader who reads at a 1st grade level), and while he does love readaloud with me and wants to read more chapter books, he often gets distracted if there aren't any/enough pictures. I often read aloud to him the books that my rising 3rd grader reads independently, so this is a series that would work for both. Thanks! I absolutely love 7 Impossible Things Before Breakfast and am constantly discovering new illustrators whose entire works I want to read! Just wish I had a bigger, more extensive library. I haven't seen Wendell Minor's work, but it's so beautiful! And I still haven't read Rump either, so you aren't quite the last, LOL. It's on my #mustread list, so I will be getting to it at some point. Maybe as a read aloud to my kids!Elisabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18185908392196878158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8692381227518715081.post-64388193447969077722014-06-02T11:00:04.677-04:002014-06-02T11:00:04.677-04:00I need to pass on the Wendell Minor books to our l...I need to pass on the Wendell Minor books to our librarian. They look great for a biography unit. I haven't read Rump yet, so you are not the last one.

The illustrations are amazing, I agree. Glad you liked Rump. I did, too, as did many in our Newbery club this past year. I've heard she's writing another book, but not sure what it's based on. Have a good week, Leigh Anne!Linda Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14983144542632353870noreply@blogger.com
