New things!
I've had a stupid cold this week and I spent a lot of time watching TV and re-reading Harry Potter. But I'm feeling better now and I was digging around in Netgalley and there's some really great stuff there! I just read a picture called "The Queen's Shadow" by Cybele Young. It's a funny story about a queen who has lost her shadow and she accuses the animals she is dining with of stealing it. One by one they explain they couldn't have possibly have done it because of the way that they see. There is some great scientific information in the book about the way different animals see and it has a funny ending. The pictures are scientifically Victorian so you get both the queenly theme and the scientific accuracy of the animals. I liked this one a lot. This would be a great one to go along with some of Steve Jenkins books like "What do you do with a Tail like this?". The second one I read was a middle grade fiction chapter book call...
