BOOKS I FINISHED - APRIL 2013

Capyboppy, written and illustrated by Bill Peet

Read aloud for Naomi.  It's the story of a family whose son brought a capybara home to live with them.  All three bigs have really enjoyed this book.

The Voyages of Doctor Dolittle, written and illustrated by Hugh Lofting

Newbery, 1923.  This was the second book I've read in my quest to read all the Newbery Award winners.  I've read or listened to The Story of Doctor Dolittle three times for school and have enjoyed it each time.  This book isn't short, but it's an easy read and I love Doctor Dolittle, so I enjoyed it.  

  

They Were Strong and Good, written and illustrated by Robert Lawson
Caldecott, 1941.  The author gives brief descriptions of his paternal grandparents, maternal grandparents, and his own parents, sharing about where they came from and how they met.  It's a personal glimpse into earlier times of American history.
