Book Review: Timmy Failure: Mistakes Were Made by Stephen Pastis

The 5 best books of The Nine-Year-Old’s year (so far)
This weekend, I found The Nine-Year-Old in her reading nook puzzling over a stack of books. Every once in a while she’d put one in her mini steamer trunk. The rest she scattered over the sides of couches, across the floor, and next to her bean bag. In a valiant attempt not to derail whatever magic was going on in her brain with an untimely shriek of “Are you going to pick those up?”, I asked her what she was doing.
“Picking out my five favorite books of the year,” she replied. Now that was a project I could get behind.
What’s The Eight-Year-Old reading this week?
Regular readers will recall that last week, The Eight-Year-Old took a firm stand on the subject of No Chapter Books on Spring Break Week.

Well, imagine my surprise when I caught The Eight-Year-Old on our Very Large Red Reading Couch with a copy of Al Capone Does My Shirts.
