Hello Norview Dolphins. I am really excited about the Virginia Readers’ Choice books this year – you know – they used to be called Virginia Young Readers. Please check them out, read them and write a blog or review to let other Dolphins know which books you liked and why.
I’ll start. I loved the book Ish by Peter Reynolds. For all of you in 4th and 5th grade – think back to when we studied Monet and Van Gogh in 3rd grade. That might give you an idea of what “ish” is. A little boy paints, but his pictures aren’t realistic – they’re impressions of the objects - his painting of a vase is “vase-ish”. That really touched home with me since I love paintings by Monet. Tell us what you think.
