our "to do" list of children's books.

This lovely lady invited me to create a summer reading list. Huzzah for motivation to do something productive, like read!!!

I started compiling a list of the books I'd like to read this summer and I thought, "who am I kidding, with these crazy kids" so my list includes one short set of books for me to graze upon (that I've started and I would like to finish) and a dozen kid books that we plan to check out from the library to take on our sunny picnics. Here we go:

For me, The Monster Blood Tattoo books by D. M. Cornish
