Good Reads

I LOVE that Cakes has discovered books!
Some of our favorites:
The Little Mouse, The Red Ripe Strawberry and The Very Hungry Bear- Don and Audrey Wood-  Kai had this memorized at 18 months.  Sooooo much fun!
Piggies- Don and Audrey Wood- we spend a long time looking at all the great piggy pictures.
How Are  You Peeling?- Joost Elfers- so creative.
Any of Maz Lucado's Wemmicks-  can't get enough- they are all great. They made some into little movies- they are all fantastic! 
My recent books:
Kate Morton: The House at Riverton, The Forgotten Garden
Leif Enger- So Brave, Young, Handsome
Charles Portis- True Grit
Kathleen Kent- The Heretic's Daughter
Dauphne Du Mauier- Rebecca
I really liked all of these- for lots of different reasons. Have you read anything great lately?

Heather, I was just thinking I needed a list of books to read! I have Leif Enger's Peace Like a River on hold at the library right now. Current favs: Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society, Poisonwood Bible, and since we just got to see Markus Zusak, The Book Theif. I'll have to try get the Heretic's DAughter. Thanks!
