The books we read for Book-It! last week had a fruit and/or harvest theme.
We read:
- Eating the Alphabet by Lois Ehlert
- Lily's Garden by Deborah Kogan Ray
- Pick, Pull, Snap! by Lola M. Schaefer
- Harvest by Kris Waldherr
We found Lily's Garden to be a very informative book. The author created a calendar of the year seen through the lens of things planted, grown, and harvested.
We enjoyed the large, creative illustrations in Pick, Pull, Snap! T had fun opening the fold-out pages to reveal the fruits grown and harvested.
We loved the watercolor illustrations in Harvest.
The Pizza Hut Book-It! Program began on October 1st. This week, T and I have been reading books with a strawberry theme.
We've read:
- Cook-a-doodle-doo! by Janet Stevens
- The Little Mouse, the Red Ripe Strawberry, and the Big Hungry Bear by Don and Audrey Wood
- The First Strawberries: A Cherokee Story retold by Joseph Bruchac
- The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle
We so enjoyed the book, Cook-a-doodle-doo! What a delightful story!! Big Brown Rooster (with the questionable help of his friends) manages to bake a strawberry shortcake which would have pleased his great-grandmother, Little Red Hen.
T and I made our own strawberry shortcake...
which T thought was the "most wonderful, magnificent strawberry shortcake in the whole wide world." :)
