Reading Through the Library: 160 Books: This week, we're loving Tedd Arnold!

Our Weekly Favorite:

Title: Huggly Takes a Bath

Author/Illustrator: Tedd Arnold

Summary:

"Huggly wants to do the things that human children do. But it's never as easy as he thinks! In this book, Huggly goes exploring in search of snacks. Ah! The bathroom looks like a good place to try! Everything in there is so interesting- especially the tub, where Huggly has lots of bubbly fun! "

Why I Loved it:

This book is hilarious! I was laughing out loud as I read it.
I love that the "monster under the bed" is named Huggly.
Apparently, there is a whole Huggly series- I can't wait to read more!

· Other Books We Read This Week:

	Title: Green Wilma, Frog in Space Author/Illustrator: Tedd Arnold This book was another favorite for the week. So cute and funny!
	Title: No jumping on the Bed! Author/Illustrator: Tedd Arnold Another winner! The only reason I didn't give 5 stars was that it was a bit rhyme-y for me. (The characters' names all rhymed.) The storyline was good, though, and I loved the ending!
	Title: Dirty Gert Author/Illustrator: Tedd Arnold The idea of a girl turning into a plant is a bit disturbing, but the rhymes were non-typical and fantastic.
	Title: Roar of a Snore Author/Illustrator: Marsha Diane Arnold Predictable storyline- nothing too special.
	Title: Meow! Author/Illustrator: Katya Arnold Pretty typical animal-sound book. I didn't find it particularly interesting.
	Title: Coyote Raid in Cactus Canyon Author/Illustrator: Jim Arnosky I thought this was going to be a tragic tale of an innocent animal getting eating by a predator. That would have been bad, but the dull storyline when nothing really happened was only slightly better.
	Title: Babies in the Bayou Author/Illustrator: Jim Arnosky This book was written in the style of a non-rhyming poem. Not my favorite.
	Title: The Twin Princes Author/Illustrator: Tedd Arnold I thought this story was pretty amusing, but the main riddle that the story was based on wasn't really that sound.
	Title: A Pet for Fly Guy Author/Illustrator: Tedd Arnold I thought this story was pretty silly, but my baby LOVED all of the buzzing Z words- she couldn't stop laughing! So I gave it 2 stars instead of 1.
