Last week we continued reading some wonderful books by Mo Willems. The kids are loving his books and I am glad that he helps build excitement with even reluctant readers. I highly encouraging checking out some of his books! Our library has a great selection and you can find them in many book orders and on Amazon. There is a great chance that our book fair will have at least one or two of his books next week at Willard East!
