Book- Judy Moody was in a mood. Not a good mood. A bad mood.
Author- Megan McDonald
Ages- 6-10
This was a very fun and easy book to read. Judy Moody is not happy to be going into the 3rd grade because its going to be completely different from the 2nd grade. While working on a "Me Collage" for school, she discovers new things about herself and about others. I would definitely recommend this book because it's humorous and offers a handful of life lessons for the children (ex: don't judge someone unless you take the time to get to know them first).

Title- You Can Do It!
Author- Tony Dungy
I really enjoyed reading this book because it encourages children to do whatever it is they want to do, because they can do anything they set their mind to. It sends a positive message for children to dream big. I also liked the fact that the two brothers had a very close and healthy relationship with each other, and with their dad. I would definitely reccomend this book for anyone who is looking for a picturebook/realistic fiction book, and it's multicultural!

A Bad Case of the Stripes- David Shannon
I had never read this book until recently. The illustrations are really colorful and vivid- really captures the readers attention. It is an easy read that teaches children a valuable lesson on the importance of being yourself and not worrying about what others will think/say. Professor Greb told me about a young child who was scared of the book and so it wasn't allowed in the classroom. It is not a scary book by any means, but perhaps the illustrations can cause fear in some young children.

Diary of a Wimpy Kid- Jeff Kinney
I have read all 3 of the books and LOVED them! They are a super easy read and you are guaranteed to catch yourself laughing out loud. I read them in just a few hours because I literally could not put them down! I had my 10 year old sister read the first one and she loved it so much that she also read all of them.

The Berenstain Bears Forget their Manners
This book was written by Stan and Jan Berenstain. This book teaches children the importance of manners. Mama Bear has to remind her family that bad manners brings negative consequences whereas good manners brings positive and happy results. She creates a plan to help them be more polite and in the end the Berenstain family remembers their manners. I would use this book to help children understand the importance of manners. It also teaches children that bad manners affect those around them and that it is important to use good manners both inside and outside of the home. It was a fun book to read (as are all Berenstain books).
