Reese was doing some newspaper reading this morning. Apparently he didn’t like what he read, so now we have a shredded mess all over the living room floor! Nice! Well it’s Saturday and I have been doing some reading since school let out.After reading Destiny Rewritten, I decided to move to some new chapter books that younger readers would enjoy.

  1. Dear Mrs Hembree,

    What a super selections of books to read over your summer and for us our winter.
    I really would love to read them all.

    How is your conference going? It would be awesome to catch up with some of your blogging pals Mrs Hembree.

    Happy reading to you all.

    From your pal in Australia,
    AA

  2. @ Mrs Hembree,

    Forget to mention I just loved the photo of your dog Reese not impressed with the newspaper. Maybe if you got him a dog book I somehow get the feeling he would enjoy reading it.

    Cheers AA 🙂

    • Dear AA,
      He got in a bit of trouble for that one, although I think Mr. Hembree actually invited Reese to eat that paper. Reese does love to shred newspapers. I don’t know why, but he loves it and is VERY good at it!
      Mrs. Yollis and I were just talking about our dogs and comparing notes. We had lots of naughty dog stories to make us laugh.
      What about your pups? Are they ever naughty?
      It’s finally warm in WA,
      Mrs. Hembree

    • Emily,
      Did you take any photos? I wanted to see those dots floating down from the ceiling! I was at a conference in San Antonio and I met Peter Reynolds, the author of The Dot. I told hime about our dots and he thought that was a great decoration idea!
      Have you read anything good yet?
      Mrs. Hembree
