SUCH DIFFERENT books, but both great in their own right. I need to read Tiny Cooper, Home, and Mama. They all look like must reads (and I loved Tiny Cooper in Will Grayson!). <br /><br />Happy reading this week! :) <br /><br />P.S. Love your comment about libraries! So true! I'd never be able to read the picture books I wanted to after vising IMWAYR and NF PB Wed if I didn't have a library.

I loved so many of the illustrations in Home but, like you, was disturbed by the stereotypical nature of several of the images. Not sure why no one challenged Ellis on those images before the book was published. I have Mama Built a Nest checked out right now--will have to move it up in the stack! At some point I want to read the Tiny Cooper story but I'm not sure the format is going to work for me either.Elisabeth Ellingtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00747914394861199796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2599471237636371761.post-89545321596318712162015-05-25T12:36:02.163-07:002015-05-25T12:36:02.163-07:00I loved looking through your list.

Feathers and Fools is an old favorite-- it is so effective at sharing the messages of misunderstanding, rumor, tolerance, etc. Mama Built a Little Nest looks interesting to me-- I'm not familiar with Ward or Jenkins, but I really like the sound of the way this book is set up. I'm really interested in reading We Are All Made of Molecules; I may have to see if I can request that one on Netgalley.
