I love reading with my own children, and it is even more fun when the story is brilliant enough for adults to enjoy, too. Strangely I just noticed that both books listed have the common theme of LOVING food--I guess that makes for a funny story. Either way, skinny or chubby, big or small these books will make you laugh.
We've been studying Ancient Greece and we all adore Max and Ruby so this "Max and Ruby's Midas" was a perfect combination. Max whispers sweet nothings to his pink cupcakes, and Midas accidentally laserbeams his family into tasty desserts. We all laugh out loud when we read it!
The second book is "Yummers" by James Marshall. His illustrations are always so so funny; they could stand alone. In general we love all his books, but "Yummers" is particularly funny because Emily Pig keeps eating everything imaginable and then wonders where her tummy ache has come from??? Has this ever inexplicably happened to you???? I never tire of his books.
Hope you have a fun Friday and can get your hands on these books.
I would love to hear the titles of books that your whole family enjoys, too!
PS...DOES ANYONE HAVE PICS FROM MARK AND LAURIE'S WEDDING????

Yummers is just too hilarious and I need to find the Midas book. I love your new St. Patty look.
I love that Midas book, and I can't wait to get my hands on Yummers, it sounds hilarious and even more so when you're pregnant! Thanks for sharing these great books. And I have some pics of Laurie's wedding that I was planning on posting, but our laptop is not working, so I'll have to wait til we get home.
Hello Beautiful.
I love how much Max loves his beautiful baked good in the Midas book. I've felt the same way myself. I've never read Yummers but am a James Marshall fan. We also love Rhoda and Stanley by Rosemary Wells and anything by Henkes. Love the new look. Bella will love it!
we know both of those authors/illustrators and love them, but i've never read those books. i'll be looking for them at the library this week! thanks for the recommendations!
I am a little behind, but those books sound great/
I have lots of pix from my Mom's wedding. I will try to post some soon.
Thanks for the comment, and Yes-I do remember my Mom being like that. I used to LOVE it. I think that is why I value doing it with my kids. We definitly just go where the wind blows up!
