Books 55- 58

55- The missing Piece Meets the BIG O by Shel Silverstein
Writing: A Illustrations: B-

This has very simple drawings which are appropriate for the book, but they aren't amazing which is why I didn't give them an A. The missing piece is like a piece of pie missing from a circle. He tries to find someplace to fit and in the end becomes okay all by himself. This is a good book about being who you want to be and not having others complete you.

56-Father Bear Comes Home by: Else Holmelund Minarik illustrated by: Maurice Sendak
Writing: B+ Illustrations: A-

These books are a little slow for my interest and my daughters. If I were going to have her read a whole series of I Can Read type books I would choose Henry and Mudge. Much more fun.

57-Swine Divine by Jan Carr illustrated by Robert Bender
Writing: C Illustrations: B

This book is kind of random I think. You think the pig is going to go to the fair and then be killed, but then it gets its picture taken. Then it gets sick of that and runs away. Just not the best story line ever.

58- Bear Dreams by Elisha Cooper
Writing: A- Illustrations: B+

Little bear doesn't want to hibernate. He plays with other animal friends and then falls asleep in the end. Pretty basic and not very thrilling, but a nice book to talk about hibernation with.
