 Urgency Emergency ~ "All in a day's work!" ~ Series by Dosh Archer

I love these fun books by author/illustrator Dosh Archer who writes books that are fun to read and funny!  One example is:


https://www.amazon.com/Big-Bad-Wolf-Urgency-Emergency/dp/0807583529/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1502147007&sr=8-5&keywords=urgency+emergency

In this twisted tale, the Big Bad Wolf is rushed to the ER due to choking.  Upon doing the Heimlich maneuver, the doctor ejects a pair of slippers with a person wearing them (I bet you can figure out the mystery person!).  My third graders went crazy for these books, and I had just as much fun reading them out loud.  

All the books have animal characters from nursery rhymes or other stories!




7 Ate 9, The Untold Story

Follow Private "I" as he solves a mystery in this laugh out loud book:


https://www.amazon.com/7-Ate-9-Tara-Lazar/dp/1484717791/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1502148912&sr=1-1&keywords=7+ate+9


All of the above books contain creative language and puns that are fun for kids and adults!

Carrot & Pea, An Unlikely Friendship by Morag Hood

In this delightfully written and illustrated debut picture book, Morag Hood explains the advantages of having a friend (Carrot) who is different in many ways:

https://www.amazon.com/Carrot-Pea-Friendship-Morag-Hood/dp/0544868420/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1500289496&sr=8-1&keywords=carrot+and+pea+an+unlikely+friendship

This is an excellent friendship book for any time and could also be used to review three dimensional shapes!


Stick and Stone by Beth Ferry

Stick starts out lonely while stone starts out alone, but then Stick rescues Stone from Pinecone's taunting.  Right from the beginning, there are many friendship lessons in this fun book!

https://www.amazon.com/Stick-Stone-Beth-Ferry/dp/054403256X/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1500290704&sr=8-1&keywords=stick+and+stone+in+books




Over the Ocean by Taro Gomi

This book was written in 1979 but was translated into English in 2016 so it's a "new" old book.  In this fun book, a young child stands by the edge of the ocean wondering what's on the other side.  Having grown up near the ocean, I used to imagine the same thing myself - actually I still do!

https://www.amazon.com/Over-Ocean-Taro-Gomi/dp/1452145156/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1500291013&sr=8-1&keywords=over+the+ocean

I hope you're all enjoying the summer wherever you are!  Mondays are a lot better when you're on vacation!

Thanks for visiting today!
