Let's Talk about Books!

Wow, this is my third link up with Deanna's Let's Talk about Books.  I am pretty proud of myself that I have been keeping on top of my blogging.  Here in Aus, the school term is nearly over.  Only 2 more days and then 2 weeks off. 

I am so excited about my new venture that I have started.  It's an Instagram account called whattheteacherwears.  Here, I post outfit ideas suitable for teachers - check it out http://instagram.com/whattheteacherwears.

My book for this is week is one I found through the CAFE Reading forums called

The Boy Who Cried Fabulous!
 
 
The only thing Roger likes better than exploring the world around him is describing it. Roger describes most things as fabulous!
 
 
What a fabulous man in a fabulous hat.  What a fabulous tie, or perhaps a cravat?  
What a fabulous boot, what a fabulous shoe.  What a fabulous suit made of fabulous blue.  What a fabulous dog, what a fabulous cat.  What a fabulous this, what a fabulous that.  What a fabulous boy, what a fabulous girl.  What a fabulous day, what a fabulous world.
 
 
They decided that Roger needed to stop saying fabulous and gawking at everything around town. They told him that fabulous was now the one word that he was NOT allowed to use.  Instead of moping, Roger found different ways to say the same word.
What a wonderful bridge, what a beautiful boat.  What an elegant queen on a dazzling float.  What a glorious band, what a magical song.  
 
 
At the end, Roger's parents start to see how he views the world and join along.
 
This is a great story for

Let's Talk about Books!

I'm linking up with Deanna Jump's Let's Talk about Books Linky.  Last week I shared one of my favourite counting picture books.  Today I've decided to turn up the volume with
 
Too Loud Lily.

 
Lily Hippo is too loud.
 
She sings too loudly, she laughs too loudly, and everyone knows when she is around. At home she disturbs the peace and wakes the baby.
 

At school she gets her friends into trouble. She can't help it.
 
 
 
But one day a new teacher, Miss Loopiola, comes to school to teach music and drama, and Lily discovers that she is doing exactly the right thing at last.
 
 
 
When the school play comes around, Lily finds she is loud in just the right way.
 
This is such a sweet, lovely story about finding your place.
Reminds me of myself at times.
I hope you enjoy this story as much as I do.
