Week of June 1 - 5,

The Day You Begin and

The One and Only Ivan (#5)

Hello UES Friends and Happy Friday,

Guess what?  This year's Red Clover Award winner is ... (drum roll please)  

POTATO PANTS!  That was last week's picture book read aloud.  If you missed it, I'll post it at the bottom of this entry or you can check out last week's post.

This week there are two books available for you to listen to and discuss.  Our picture book this week is another one of this year's Red Clover Books, The Day You Begin. It's written by Jacqueline Woodson and illustrated by Rafael Lopez.  Our other book is the next reading installment (#5) of The One and Only Ivan, by Katherine Applegate.
