Favorite Books in summer of 2016

These are some of our favorite books this summer!

Herman's Vacation by Tom Percival
ISBN 978-1-61963-990-4

Summary- Herman and Henry, best friends forever, are camping in the great outdoors- and they couldn't be having more fun!  Well, at least Herman is enjoying all of the tent building and marshmallow roasting.  Henry doesn't quite seem to get the hang of any of it.  Herman hates seeing his best friend so sad.  So he decides to plot a very secret, very special surprise and do whatever it takes to make sure Henry has the best vacation ever!  This fabulously funny story about friends who stick together is chronicled through vibrant illustrations and lift-the-flaps.

Fishing Sunday
by Tony Johnston, pictures by Barry Root
ISBN  0-688-13458-0

Summary-  Fishing Sunday, Grandfather calls it.  It's the day I hate the most.  It's embarrassing being stuck on a crowded boat with a barefoot old man who's always talking to the fish.  No wonder the boy keeps wishing he could be left behind.  Then one Fishing Sunday, the boy sees something almost magical about Grandfather's handmade bone fish hooks- and something almost magical about Grandfather himself.
