Reading S's


"Summer Reading is Killing Me" by  Jon Scieszka
is a book I highly recommend to boys who believe that this is true.
In this book Joe, Sam and Fred find themselves trapped inside their
summer reading list, involved in a battle between the good and
evil characters from well-known children's books.

Some other super "S" stories are:
"The Saturdays" by Elizabeth Enright
"Stink" books by Megan McDonald
"Skippyjon Jones" books by Judy Schachner
"Sheila Rae, the Brave" by Kevin Henkes
"Slyvester and the Magic Pebble" by William Steig
"Splat the Cat" books by Rob Scotten
and "The Scrambled States of America"
 

"Scapegoat" by Dean Hale is the silly
Story of a Goat Named Oat and a Chewed-Up Coat
with a lot of rhyming words!

And there are books by Lemony Snicket and Shel Silverstein
as well as books about seasons . . . seeds . . . snakes and
snow . . . sports . . . space . . . and the sea.
 

One of my favorite movies, "You've Got Mail" inspired me
to finally read a shoe book. There are several, but the one
I read this summer was "Skating Shoes" by Noel Streatfeild.

So long my super summer readers!
Love, Grandma
