BEST OF THE MONTH: Love You Forever by Robert Munsch
This will be linked to The Book Date's Month in Review and A Cocoon of Books Best of the Bunch!
Love You Forever is one of my favourite Munsch books. That one, and The Paper Bag Princess! I loved Amelia Bedelia when I was a kid, and I love reading those to my daughter. She's so fun!
ReplyDeleteAwesome!! I really enjoyed the Paper Bag Princess too!
DeleteGreat stats this month. I hope May is even better for you :)
ReplyDeleteAneta @ Angelic Book Reviews
I'll have to go over and see what you thought of Love that Split the World because I'm really interested in that one.
ReplyDeleteNicole @ Feed Your Fiction Addiction

ReplyDeleteThanks! You too!
