I mean what I said, I MISS picture books. After reading three
completely different picture books this past week I've remembered the
good old days when my mom used to read to me. I used to Love listening
to her read me stories and having parents come in to classrooms and
read to us. I have been so impressed with not only the stories from
the picture books I've read, but how unique the illustrations are. My
favorite illustrations so far have been from What Do You Do With a Tail
Like This? I've just never seen such realistic collages in a picture
book. My third book that I chose to read besides the two required this
week from class was Princess Pigsty. It was one of the other books by
Cornelia Funke, the author of The Thief Lord. This book definitely
shows how diverse of a writer Funke is. Princess Pigsty is so cute! I
loved it! If you liked to get dirty or messy or just hated wearing
dresses when you were little, you need to read this book. The main
character, Isabella, will remind you of yourself when you were younger!
