Review: Walt is worried about how he is not growing as tall or he is not the curliest. This book is a great book for a first grade classroom to help the students understand that it is ok to not be the tallest or the smallest in the class. This book explains that everyone is special in their own ...
I thought this children’s book was hilarious with its engaging dialogue, exciting illustrations and nonstop-action. I really enjoyed reading the author’s Arnie the Doughnut book, so when I read that she wrote a book about potato pants, I knew I had to read it. I love the energy and excitement that...
For more reviews, check out my blog: Craft-CycleOverall, a cute story. A little bit creepy, but a good message.I was a little weirded out by the idea of sentient grass, especially with the ominous illustrations of a lawn mower lurking in the background. But overall, I enjoyed the story. The idea of ...
A cute story about the states if they got "scrambled." My CT in 1st grade last semester used this book as a way to introduce their maps unit and the kids loved it. They watched a cute video story of it online and it was so cute. I think this is a great book for introducing states, maps, and geograph...
This came highly recommended by a children's librarian. Also, Laurie Keller is a favorite in this house (The Scrambled States is a MUST own book in any house with elementary aged children). She just *gets* what kids like to read. I would have LOVED this book as a kid - with its sly humor and tons of...
Arnie is just what he wanted to be…..a chocolate sprinkled doughnut. Wouldn’t it be nice if we all were like Arnie and were proud of who we are? Arnie takes us through his birth: how he was cut into a ring, deep fried, cooled, iced, sprinkled and named with some fun photos and comments. Arnie tries ...
AS fond as I am of Keller's picture books, and the original [b:Arnie the Doughnut|1128849|Arnie the Doughnut|Laurie Keller|http://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/books/1317064139s/1128849.jpg|1116029], this never quite worked for me. The jokes are corny, which is fine. But the story felt kind of all o...
We'd kind of forgotten about Laurie Keller. But Tash is feeling the love of picture books, and this was always one of her favorites. It's amusing with lots of corny jokes, there are little details to the pictures to discover (Washington DC is riding on NC, SC sleeps with a teddy bear), and there's t...
I like Arnie the Doughnut as a picture book and a movie, and his character translates to chapter book pretty well. The first few pages fill in those not familiar with Arnie ("Mr. Bing...remember when you tried to EAT me...ha ha ha") and goes from there with a mystery involving Mr. Bing's bowling lea...
This book was super cute! The humor was actually funny and the mystery wasn't something that the children couldn't solve, but it wasn't too easy either. I really liked the concept. The idea of a talking doughnut is funny in itself. Although you don't make a huge connection with all the characte...
