Monday & Wednesday

Greetings everyone, I hope that you had a restful weekend! Blog for this week. Blog about what you have read thus far taking into consideration what you have enjoyed about the text, what topic or area has caused you any confusion or raised questions, and what you may disagree with or find interesting. For your author profile continue looking for new books, websites, current authors etc. Have fun with this project as it has the potential to be quite engaging. Here is a book I found that I thought was
interesting:


All Angel’s father (a.k.a. the Devil) wants is to be a part of her life. And in return he has the power to give her anything she wants --- including popularity and a date with her long-time crush, Cole Daniels. But Angel will only accept him on her terms: get out of the devil business and leave his special powers out of the equation. Is Angel condemning herself to an eternity of lunch at the losers’ table? Or can she and Daddy Dearest strike some kind of deal?

The book Bedeviled: Daddy's Little Angel looks interesting. I will see if the library has it so my second grader and I can read it. My daughter enjoys reading very much.

Ezra Jack Keats
Keats is best known for introducing multiculturalism into mainstream American children's literature. He was one of the first children’s book authors in the English-speaking world to use an urban setting for his stories, and he developed the use of collage as a medium for illustration.
The book featuring Peter, The Snowy Day, received the prestigious Caldecott Medal for the most distinguished picture book for children in 1963.
It features a little boy named Peter exploring his neighborhood after the first snowfall of the season.
The inspiration for Peter came from a Life magazine photo article from 1940, and Keats' desire to have minority children of New York as central characters in his stories. Peter appears in six more books growing from a small boy in The Snowy Day to pre-adolescence in Letter to Amy.

"I'll love you forever, I'll like you for always, As long as I'm living, My baby you'll be."This is the quiet song a mother sings to her newborn son as she gently rocks him back and forth -- he is so sweet and quiet, so good. As the boy passes through the Terrible Twos, the Picky Preteens and Awkward Adolesence, he is not always sweet or quiet or good. He's often just the opposite. Even so, his mother sometimes sneaks into his room and rocks him, no matter big he gets, and sings him the same song. …

The book sounds very interesting. It caught my attention right away because of the title. I always tell my daughter she is Daddy's Little Angel. I will get this ook to read to my 7 year old. She is a little advanced so I think she will enjoy it.
