“Clifford’s Big Book of Things to Know: A Book of Fun Facts” by Norman Bridwell

Lily picked this book from the library at school. She’s been in an Arthur or Clifford groove lately.

It was a good choice. Rather than being a story book, each page was a different topic.

Topics:
Your Body
Sports and Games
Growing a Garden
Taking Care of Pets
Insects and Spiders
Animal Homes
The Seasons
Rain and Snow
The Earth, Sun, and Moon
Space
Collecting Rocks
The Seashore
Under the Sea
Building a House
A Recycling Plant
Mailing a Letter
Digging a Tunnel
Clifford Tells Time

On the Growing a Garden section, there were instructions for growing a bean plant from dried beans. We tried it this evening to see how our beans grow!

Lily got a new bingo sheet today! She came home with 5 prizes and a book. All prizes she earned for reading 25 books! Proud mom.

“Barbie: I Can Be… A Pet Vet” by Mary Man-Kong. Illustrated by Jiyoung An.

We have been trying to pick out reading Level 1 and Level 2 books. Lily does rather well with Level 1. She has also been reading this book for a couple of days, which has helped with her sight-reading.

I didn’t like because Nikki’s cat got sick.

Lily was very tired when we finally got a chance to do her book report tonight. Daylight savings time and skipping her nap made for one very sleepy girl!

“Runny Babbit” by Shel Silverstein

I had a lot of trouble finding a poetry book for a kindergartener. I looked at other Shel Silverstein books, like “Where the Sidewalks Ends”. It was 192 pages, so a bit long for what we needed.

This book seemed to fit the bill. It was shorter and silly. However, it was a difficult read with the whimsical language that Silverstein used. I found my mind auto-correcting as I read.

Lily’s Book Report

I liked the book.

I liked that because his mom put up notes that he needed to do.

I didn’t like because there was a hungry dog.

What does the title make you think of? It makes me think of that he is so funny! Runny Babbit!
