Summer Reading Wrap-up (Books 91-100+)

We have officially finished our summer reading goal of 100 new books by the end of the summer. Here are some of our latest reads:

Backyard Bug Battle by Scott Nickel, illustrated by Andy J. Smith (a "graphic novel" aka comic book- Who knew? I would have thought a graphic novel would be something like a dirty romance novel.)

Something Might Happen by Helen Lester, illustrated by Lynn Munsinger (cute fiction book about a worried lemur)

Dogzilla by Dav Pilkey (We have read this at least ten times. Austin loves this ridiculous Godzilla knockoff.)

Jazzy in the Jungle by Lucy Cousins (a hide and seek adventure about two lemurs)

Giant Shark: Megalodon, Prehistoric Super Predator (You've got to say MEG-uh-lo-don with a dramatic emphasis for the full effect :) by Caroline Arnold, illustrated by Laurie Caple (non-fiction)

Hey! I'm Reading! by Betty Miles, illustrated by Sylvie Wickstrom (a book for new readers- gives hints and tips about learning to read)

Stop, Drop and Roll by Margery Cuyler, illustrated by Arthur Howard (brought about good discussion about fire safety)

Dinosaurs: Big and Small by Kathleen Weidner Zoehfeld, illustrated by Lucia Washburn (non-fiction)

A Kangaroo Joey Grows Up by Joan Hewett (non-fiction)

We also checked out three more non-fiction lemur books. Can you tell that Austin likes lemurs?

Austin has a little more than five weeks left of summer before he starts his kindergarten adventure.
