From time to time I bring home as many books by an author as I can get my hands on. Last weekend, it was books written by Judi Barrett and drawn by Ron Barrett.
Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs was familiar to ML. The incredible Ms. Shaw shared it last year. We laughed while we read it. Then, laughed more reading the sequel, Pickles to Pittsburgh. But we howled and howled and howled reading Animals Should Definitely Not Wear Clothing. Then, we howled some more.
This week ML is Star of the Week. Today, three of her favorite things go to school. Duckie’s a given. Animals Should Definitely Not Wear Clothing made the cut. The third item is her rock collection, including yesterday’s acquisition. Thank you Will’s mom for letting us bring the smooth tan-brown rock home.
Looking forward to picking up ML today. . .wondering how her classmates reacted to the illustration for “because it might make life hard for a hen.” ML is a fan of the opossum and goat pages. I think the snake page is hilarious. Although, nothing compares to the hen page. Check out this link to read the entire book http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=seCw76LuGDE. Which page is your favorite?
What is ML Reading? 
This is a book where the words and pictures work together SO perfectly. I use it to teach writing. Thanks for the link to youtube.
I’ll have to have a look at this – looks like the kind of story my son would love
I enjoyed perusing your blog. All of Judi Barrett’s books are funny. Check out as many as you can. Tonight we read her book, The Marshmallow Incident.
