Yes, read

Well, hello! It's March — already! Here's another round of books that I have not recorded as "read" in my annual count but did in fact read in February. B despairs. I think I can chalk these up to research, though.

Kids' Picturebooks

Jennifer Berne, On a Beam of Light: A Story of Albert Einstein

Guojing, The Only Child

Ruth Krauss, The Backward Day

Ruth Krauss, Open House for Butterflies

Ruth Krauss, Charlotte and the White Horse

Ruth Krauss, The Carrot Seed

Dennis Lee, Bubblegum Delicious

J. Patrick Lewis, The House

Barack Obama, Of Thee I Sing: A Letter to My Daughters

Kathryn Otoshi, Zero

Chris Raschka, Simple Gifts: A Shaker Hymn

Adam Rubin, Dragons Love Tacos

Kathy Stinson, The Man with the Violin

Joyce Sidman, This Is Just to Say

Joyce Sidman, Dark Emperor and Other Poems

Kay Thompson, Eloise in Paris

Hervé Tullet, Press Here

Ed Vero, Max the Brave

Alice Walker, There Is a Flower at the Tip of My Nose Smelling Me

Graphica et al.

J.K. Rowling, Very Good Lives

— and —

Kate Beaton, Step Aside, Pops (I'm a fan-girl for this series)

And the onslaught will continue this month. I'm still waiting for a few Krauss books to arrive at our branch of GVPL, I'm pursuing several writers who write poetry for children, and I'm in the queue for a couple more graphic novels. Hope they arrive by the end of the month — I'll let you know.

And for what it's worth, March arrived in Victoria like a lion, so fingers crossed it will leave like the oft-invoked lamb. Later!
