Reading Roundup: Author, Patricia Polacco
The past few weeks, we’ve been reading through many of Patricia Polacco’s books. I know as an adult, I get fixated on one or two authors (Paullina Simons–The Bronze Horsemen series, Jodi Picoult, Philippa Gregory, Rick Riordan). And LD has his favorite series too reading through all the Magic Tree House books, Beast Quest series (he’s on number 36), Andrew Lost and the A-to-Z Mysteries.
We have all really enjoyed Patricia Polacco’s books — all three came running when I pulled them out. (Often I read them while the kids were eating.) I don’t know if the kids had a particular favorite, but I loved the message of Babushka’s Doll (don’t pester and nag all day) and Just Plain Fancy (appreciate being who you are).
