Picture Books I Read This Week (March 12 -March 16th)

These are the picture books that I was able to read this week. I'm going to try & limit these to 5 books per week unless I find an awesome one!

Scarface Claw by Lynley Dodd
I picked this book because of the title & the cover, he is so cute but kinda vicious looking LOL! Scarface Claw is the toughest, meanest cat you'll ever meet & he isn't afraid of anything including thunderstorms, the dark, loud dogs, or wailing sirens. It turns out he's only afraid of one thing...himself!
 

Woodpecker Wants a Waffle by Steve Breen
This story has a great ending & it is funny too. Benny is a woodpecker who desperately wants a waffle. A new restaurant named Moe's opens near by & Benny is doing everything he can to get in. Benny hatches a plan & all the woodland animals come to watch him. Everyone in the restaurant comes outside to see why the animals have gathered & that's when Benny makes his move! 

The Great Dog Wash by Shellie Braeuner
This book has cute pictures & includes dogs of all shapes & sizes. It's also easy to follow & simple words. The dogs are gathered for the dog wash when a cat comes along & they decide to chase it up a tree. So the kids decide to bring the wash to them until they decide to chase the cat again. 

Mossy by Jan Brett
I really like Jan Brett but I have never read this one. Of course there are beautiful & detailed pictures as with all her books. Some of the words are a little difficult so this is an older kids picture book. Mossy is a turtle & she likes to come to Lilypad Pond. She spends so much time there that things start growing on her shell. One day she meets a male turtle named Scoot. Then Dr. Carolina is walking by the pond & spots Mossy. She decides to take her for an exhibit in her museum. Mossy is very sad after that & she misses the pond & Scoot. Because she is sad they decide to release her & she is reunited with Scoot.

How Rocket Learned to Read by Tad Hills
Rocket is a super cute little dog! The author actually owns Rocket in real life. He loves to chase leaves & chew on sticks . One day a little yellow bird appears. The bird wants to teach Rocket how to read but Rocket would rather take a nap. That is until the bird starts to read, then Rocket needs to know how the story ends. So the bird teaches him the alphabet & before yo know it they are reading together through the seasons.
