Everybody Bonjours is the story of a little girl who goes to France. Everyone is incredibly friendly, the language is different, and there are so many things to see. It’s a neat story about language differences, all the things to see in Paris, and the friendliness of people in other places. Everything is one big adventure. It’s sweet, and the illustrations by Sarah McMenemy are reminiscent of Bemelmans’s Madeleine.

Last night I had my Mo Willems program at the library. I read Don’t Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus!, The Pigeon Wants a Puppy, There Is a Bird on Your Head, Today I will Fly!, Leonardo the Terrible Monster, and Edwina the Dinosaur Who Didn’t Know She Was Extinct. I usually don’t get through that many books before the kids start rioting and asking for the craft, but they couldn’t get enough. I do lots of voices and antics when I read stories, and they work really well with Mo Willems.
