I've recently read a few chapter books that I really enjoyed. The first ones were Big Nate: In a Class By Himself and its sequel, Big Nate Strikes Again. Fans of Diary of a Wimpy Kid will love these books, as the blurb by Jeff Kinney on the cover tells readers. The series features plenty of humor and cartoons, plus an energetic main character that kids can relate to. These books won't just appeal to reluctant readers--all readers, of any age, will find something to enjoy here.
I also finally read The World According to Humphrey by Betty Birney. I can see why this series is so popular! Humphrey, the golden hamster in an elementary school classroom, gets to go home with a different student every weekend. He's a really smart little guy and ends up giving help to all the people who take him home. The story was really funny and sweet and will be a hit with kids who like animal stories.I've heard that the Newberry & Caldecott awards will be announced on Monday, so stay tuned for that!
