Summer Reading Day 25: Today's pick was Bow-Wow Birthday by Lee Wardlaw. Hate to say it, but JJ's expression about sums it up.

Summer Reading Day 22: Today's selection was Everywhere Babies by Susan Meyers, an adorable story about all the things babies all around the world do in their first year. It's an absolutely charming story and the illustrations are great, plus it's very inclusive (families of all shapes, sizes and colors are represented). Loved it!
