I found this little treasure in the library yesterday. I am sure it has been around for a while but I figured I would blog about it anyway. This series is "part journal, part graphic novel and all fun". Ellie McDoodle is a strong character with great voice. She is confident, funny and relatable. I have so many students that are torn between picture books and chapter books- this is a perfect combination of both. The pictures help tell the funny and engaging story. I can hardly wait to introduce it my students.

And there's a second one either out, or coming out soon! Sometimes it's good to discover books later so you don't have to wait as long for the next one!!!
We *heart* your blog! Missed you this morning!
