Holden loved this book. He memorized it for a reading event at Kesterson Elementary School and recited it. He was able to meet the author twice. Once at school and once at a library presentation. He was able to get his book autograhed. It was so good for him to get inspir. Read full review

I cut out and made paper "bagheads" for my preschoolers & their storytime today. Something like this: http://thejjkblog.blogspot.com/2010/0. There are some great coloring pages for the book on Jarrett Kosoczka's website here: http://www.studiojjk.com/

Silly book that had me laughing out loud. Also a good writing mentor text showing author's decisions about font, text size, and placement and how they add to the enjoyment of the story.

While I might be a little bias because of the author's first name, this is one of those big lettered, funny picture books with awesome illustration. Reminded me of "The Great Thanksgiving Escape" by Mark Fearing.

A little boy decides to wear a paper bag over his head all day. He eats his breakfast, gives a book report and plays soccer. A fun book with a surprise twist. We've enjoyed this one in the lower school this week.

This is exactly the type of children's book that I usually don't like. The minimal, super big text is a turn off to me. For the most part I didn't even read that kind of book to Julia as a baby. Perhaps this is why she expects more wording in her books also.
I also want t. Read full review
