New Book by John Rocco

First of all, let me just say...I AM SO EXCITED!!!

But before I tell you why I'm so excited here's a little introduction:

Our second graders read Wolf! Wolf! by John Rocco.  I happen to think he is one of the COOLEST blue fiction picture book authors ever.  AND...I MET HIM!  He even signed my copy of Wolf! Wolf! and two other books he wrote that I own, Moonpowder and Fu Finds the Way.

  

So the reason for my excitement is that he is coming out with a new book this week! Here's a video he made about it.  What do you think?

Use the comments below to tell me what you think about John Rocco's new book or another book of his that you already read and be sure to include REASONS to support your opinion.

Amazing Animals: Penguins

Penguins are some amazing animals. Many live in Antarctica, a frozen land of sparkling ice. Penguins have some amazing adaptations that help them live in such a cold place. Watch this video to learn about these amazing animals and then pick up one of the books on my penguin rainbow to learn more.
