I would love to read "Cool City". Both my nephews love legos and I'm sure they would love to get their hands on this book. Boys in general would love it!
ReplyDeleteThe idea behind, Crown On Your Head sounds interesting and I bet Cool City will be a hit with kids as well. :)
ReplyDeleteThe illustration alone on The Crown on Your Head makes me want to read it.Coming closer to Christmas, I think my students would enjoy A Bad Kitty, and I like the concept of Feeding Friendsies. Looking forward to checking these three out.
ReplyDeleteAll of these covers look so good. I think I would really like to read them. i like all the Bad Kitty books so do the kids.
ReplyDeleteA Bad Kitty. I want to know what he did and so will the children.
ReplyDeleteMy teen daughter, who's been begging for a cat since she was old enough to talk (I'm allergic, so no cat) might appreciate A Bad Kitty under the tree this year...
ReplyDeleteCool City seems like another book to spark the imagination with LEGOS! My kids own a couple thousand pieces, so I already know this will be a winner and on our bookshelf before too long.
ReplyDeleteWe just bought my son two Bad Kitty books. Bad Kitty during Christmas might not be a bad idea, or will it? Guess we'll have to read it to find out. Nick Bruel will be a guest author at my son's school this year and he's so excited.
ReplyDeleteJust bought Bad Kitty in Sam's this afternoon. It's wonderful.

ReplyDeleteI enjoy reading books about Christmas. Children enjoy reading books about it as well. Christmas is coming up pretty quick and it sounds like a book we can all enjoy reading.
I love all these. The first one would be awesome for the insect theme in Spring. I'm sure kids will love this book.
