Who's on First?

Who's on First? by Abbot and Costello

Summary: An illustrated edition of the classic comedy routine by Abbott and Costello about oddly named baseball players.

My Thoughts: This is a great book for reading aloud, either to younger kids or beginning readers! If they haven't heard it yet they will be in stitches!  Make sure that the kids can understand and follow a bit of word play to make sure they can really enjoy the book!

I Broke My Trunk!

I Broke My Trunk! by Mo Willems

Summary: Gerald the elephant tells his best friend Piggie a long, crazy story about how he broke his trunk.

My Thoughts: I LOVED this book in the Piggie and Elephant series!  Gerald's story is so very funny it is sure to tickle anyone's funny bone!  There are many times when the reader will think "Ok, this is it!" but then it isn't.  The story continues on and on, but not too long!  Beginning readers will love this one!  It is a great book to have them read aloud to an adult.  They can be taught to use expression with their reading using this and any other of the Piggie and Elephant books.
