Chloe's Book Club

I have been asking Mom everyday now if we can have our own book club. Tonight was it!
I made name tags of where everyone was to sit...
















I brought the snacks....
















I chose the book!





















I chose The Snow Globe Family by Jane O'Connor - I liked this book a lot! I would LOVE to live in a snow globe! You could have snow all the time. I liked the babies in this book too. Oh, and the sparkly cover!

Book Review - Adoption Title

We found a new book we LOVE - it's Lily by Keri Campbell. We have to share!! Chloe first: I liked this book because Lily is beautiful. There are lots of pretty pictures in this book. I think it should have been called "Chloe" because it is just like me!

Now for mom: I designed a blog months ago now for Keri and had no idea she was a writer. Her book is marvelous for adoptive families. It is the story of Lily and her family as they travel to China to adopt her. I sat and read it to Chloe with tears in my eyes as she said, "Oh, that's just like me, I liked steamed eggs too." "Mommy - she looks just like me." I love it and it is one we will treasure. Bonnie Lemarie's illustrations are fabulous! The best part?? This is going to be a series and we can't wait!!

Clue

So Chloe thinks you need two clues:
1) The man has a yellow hat!!
2) His friend is very CURIOUS!

Now on to our latest and greatest book!
There are Cats in this Book by Viviane Schwarz is our current favorite. Chloe has already asked that we NOT return it to the library! I asked her why she likes it so much and this is what she said: "I like to throw the ball of yarn to the cats. I like to play with the cats. I love it when they say, 'The cats aren't on this page!!'. This will make you laugh!"

There you have it - a good read!

BOOK REVIEW

We opened the mail yesterday and opened a box we had WON!!!! We won the new Llama Llama book which thrilled our souls.

Chloe wants to tell you about it:
Llama Llama Misses Mama is a good book because Llama goes to school. But he misses his mama. He is sad and wants her to come back. But it is good because Mama comes back! Then they are both happy. Llama liked school. I like school too! Oh yes, I think Anna Dewdney is pretty too. (That's the author in case you all don't recognize the name!)

I like this book...

I like the book, The Seven Chinese Sisters by Kathy Tucker and illustrated by MY FAVORITE - Grace Lin. I don't like it when the baby gets lost. I liked the book because they got the baby again when they saved her. The girls in the book are pretty - the tallest one is my favorite.
