Best Books is my series of posts that highlights books we find during our book challenge!
These are our finds from week 23.
(Note: We try to read a minimum of 28 books a week. The books we list here are our favorites that we found in each week, not necessarily our favorites overall. Some weeks we find some fantastic books, other weeks we read a lot of fluff.)

Xander's Favorite:
Sea Horses by Melvin and Gilda Berger
Sorry, there was no picture for this book. However, it has become one of Xander's daily readers. It is a great non fiction book with high quality photographs and large text on a white background. The book goes through different parts of the sea horse and how it is similar to other animals. For example, the head is similar to that of a horse and the tail is similar to that of a monkey. There were also fact bubbles throughout the book with more advanced/specific information. The first time I got this book out, we read it about six times in a row. Xander likes to neigh on the page with the horse, and point to his eyes on the page about eyes. I will have to keep a lookout for more books like this at the library.
Mommy's Favorites:
My Best Friend is as Sharp as a Pencil by Hanoch Piven
This book was about a little girl telling her grandmother about her school. It was cute because she used a lot of similes to describe her classmates and teachers. The book is illustrated, but the objects from the similes are depicted with real photographs. Xander wasn't all that impressed, but I enjoyed it.
Book Store:
I added an Amazon Store to the blog. In it I included a shop for our favorite books and will be adding the books from the Best Books posts to it. I hope having them in one place will make it easier when looking for book suggestions.
The second book sounds like something my daughter might enjoy. Thanks for joining WMCIR!
