One of our favourite authors in the homeschool room is Mo Willems. Although until today the kids didn't realize how many of his books we'd read; they don't keep track of authors, just books that they enjoy!
Since September we have read:
Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus!
Knuffle Bunny
Knuffle Bunny Too
Leonardo the Terrible Monster
The Pigeon Will Ride the Rollercoaster
Sam the Most Scaredy-Cat Kid in the World
That is NOT a Good Idea
The Duckling Gets a Cookie?
and today we added Goldilocks and the Three Dinosaurs to the list.
The kids love them. The slightly older kids (7-9 or so) get more jokes than the little ones (5-6), but they all enjoy the stories. I like some of the extra little jokes that all the kids miss, like the Go Asteroids! sports poster on the wall in the dinosaur's bedroom.
Mo Willems writes and illustrates good, fun stories that can be enjoyed by both parents and children. I'm very happy that I found one of his books on a list of best Caldicott Medal books and started looking for more.
