Here's a quick look at what we picked up at the library yesterday. I always find it interesting to see what Chloe wants to read.
Here's a new book.
Nate the Great Where Are You?
by Marjorie Weinman Sharmat and Mitchell Sharmat
Illustrated by Jody Wheeler
Nate the Great and his dog, Sludge, have solved countless cases. For once, they would like to take a break from detective work. Especially since new cases—cases they do not want—await them: Rosamond wants to track down a walking turnip, Annie wants to find Fang’s missing canine toothpaste, Claude wants to locate something special (whatever that means), and Harry wants to solve the mystery of the dog with four tails. Everyone demands Nate’s attention, but all Nate wants is to escape. And after trying on disguises so that he and Sludge can go unrecognized, the sleuthing duo try to hide out in the woods. It’s not long before they hear familiar voices shouting, “Nate the Great, where are you?” Is it asking too much for the pancake-eating detective and his bone-chewing partner to get a day off?
This is a chapter book. It has eight chapters and plenty of words. It is a great book to get kids across the bridge from picture books to chapter books. I love the mystery and problem solving creativity in it.
published by Random House Children's Books 2014, Nate the Great Where Are You? is one of a long list of Nate the Great books. Also by Marjorie Weinman Sharmat and Mitchell Sharmat are the Olivia Sharp stories.
Here is another chapter book.
Penny And Her Marble
by Kevin Henkes
In the third easy-to-read book about Penny the mouse, written by Caldecott Medalist and bestselling author Kevin Henkes, Penny finds a beautiful marble on her neighbor's lawn and must decide whether or not to keep it.
This book is a Beginning Reading Level 1 book. Chloe is definitely drawn to the pictures and simple story line. It is colorfully illustrated and by the same author as a book about Owen which we have.
Published by HarperCollins Publishers a GreenWillow Book, 2013.

Here's a mini encyclopedia on cats and dogs complete with an index and colorful photographs.
Cats vs. Dogs
by Elizabeth Carney.
Chocolate or vanilla? Creamy peanut butter or crunchy? Cats or dogs? On some matters in life, every kid must take a stance. Ever since the first youngster in history had a pet, cats vs. dogs has been a hotly debated issue at recesses and lunch tables worldwide. Which one's better? Smarter? This reader presents the facts in fun and informative fashion. Kids will love the stimulating Level 3 text as they decide the answer to this question for themselves.
This is a National Geographic Society book, 2011
Kids love to get the facts, especially from a book written just for them. This is a great book for fun and facts.
We are always fond of a Jan Brett book.
Here is:
The Umbrella
Written and illustrated by the talented Jan Brett.
Jan Brett's New York Times bestselling picture book The Umbrella has all the rollicking fun of the woodland animals that crowd into a mitten in the snow in The Mitten. Only this time it's in a lush cloud forest as one by one, tree frog, toucan, kinkajou, baby tapir, quetzal, monkey, and jaguar crowd into an open, upside down banana umbrella until a tiny hummingbird lands and they all fall out.
Rich in illustrations this is a delightful book.
Publisher, G. P. Putnam's Sons, a division of Penguin Young Readers Group, New York, 2004

And Last but not least,
Another Daisy book;
Come Along, Daisy!
by Jane Simmons
Beautiful pictures and darling story line. This is one from a collection of lovable books about a duck named Daisy.
Daisy's mother warns her to stay close, but there are so many distractions in the pond! After all, there are fireflies to chase and lily pads to jump on. A sudden, scary noise teaches Daisy to heed her mother's words. The author's colorful illustrations will capture children's attention as they enjoy the adventures of this playful duck.
