Verdi - This snake tale was really intriguing to Cricket, and she liked how Verdi maintained his youth even after he was no longer green.
Vulture View - I accidentally skipped a page when I read this book to Cricket, and I think that was a wonderful blessing. As I looked back through it I had magically skipped the grossest page, that discussed what vultures eat. The beginning and the end of the book were nice discussing how they fly and how they sleep in families, but I would say that this book is definitely not for everyone.
The Very Lonely Firefly - Cricket was sad that the library version no longer lit up at the end, but otherwise she enjoyed the Eric Carle story. It reminded me in a way of Are You My Mother by P. D. Eastman, as the firefly searched to find another firefly.
Pets at the Vet - This was an accurate, yet toddler friendly, accounting of what a vet does.
Zin! Zin! Zin! A Violin - This was Cricket's favorite book of the week. She really enjoyed all the different sounds of the instruments and the way the story flowed.
Mole Music - This was my favorite story of the week. The illustrations were key to my enjoyment, and I loved how a whole separate story was unfolding above Mole that he had no knowledge of. Oh, this was a letter V book, because Mole played a violin.
Thanks for joining WMCIR with your picks of the week. Our library has Reading Rainbow DVD with two episodes on each disk, and music DVD with Zin, Zin, A Violin was very popular here.
