HAPPY MONDAY MY FRIENDS!!!!

How is everyone on this last Monday of August?  Soon it will be Labor Day which usually signals the last weekend of summer.  It seems to me that this summer went by very fast this year and I didn't get everything done I wanted to do but I will work harder on that in September.  How was your summer?  I hope you and your children or grandchildren were able to get out this summer and do many exciting things and that they are ready to do the school thing now.  I would love to hear about your summer so post a comment on my blog and share what you did and if you read any good books please share those too.

I want to finish up August with some cute dog books for the "Dog Days of Summer."

It is really is the "Dog Days of Summer" where I live.  It is 98 degrees f again today.   It is really to hot to do much outside but go swimming but the children are in school today.  I am so glad they have air-conditioning to keep them cool.

I am sharing a cute book today about dogs.

Finder Keepers

by

Will and Nicolas

This a cute and funny story about two dogs named Winkle and Nap.  They both have been digging and digging for a bone.  When they find a bone they argue over who saw it first and then Winkle says,"I touched it first."  Then Nap says, "I saw it first."  Who could help them to decide?

They run into a farmer and ask him who should the bone belong to but he was only interested in his cart.  Then they run into Mr. Tuftichin, the goat who was only interested in hay.  They also meet the barber who was only interested in cutting hair.

Then they meet Mr. Longshanks, a mean dog. Read Finder Keepers to see what happens next.

This a cute and funny book that the children will love.  Also, it does teach a lesson about finding things.  I remember saying" Finder Keepers a lot in my life.  This book  also has won a Caldecott Medal.  So check it out at your local library and see how much fun you can have with it. 

I hope everyone has a good day and I will be back Wednesday with another dog book.

Keep Reading!!!!!
