  2. Tonya,
    Love this list! There are several books here I just can't live without --- and a few I need to check out. Interestingly, Flotsam keeps showing up here and there and everywhere. I haven't read it, but I'm moving it to the top of my list. Here are a few picture books the boys in my classroom always seem to love: Shark vs. Train, Dinosaur vs. Potty, Yip! Snap! Yap!, No, David!, and I Stink!.

    Thanks for the new books to check out,
    Cathy
