I am so proud to present the work of Marvin, one of my very, very favorite 4th graders. He has read every single Diary of a Wimpy Kid from front to back (multiple times), he loves Daniel Boom, Origami Yoda and Lunch Lady. The influence of these books is apparent in his work. You have to know Marvin as well as I do to know why this work is spectacular, beautiful and inspirational. Please enjoy his work! (click on a page to view them all enlarged!)

I have been very lucky to have The Lemme Library mentioned in one of my favorite bloggers. Betsy Bird at FuseNews has a great point of view and sense of humor. She posts the most interesting links and keeps be up to date on the latest trends and issues. Book Talk Tuesday is mentioned in her post today- and I can't thank her enough for the shout out. The whole reason we do BTT is to spread the word about amazing books for kids PK-8. If you are a new visitor, please come back next Monday at 7 PM central to post your review- or come back and visit all of the amazing blogs that post each week!
From FuseNes:
"We have Nonfiction Mondays, Poetry Fridays, and my own Video Sundays. So why not Book Talk Tuesdays? That’s the idea behind The Lemme Library’s newest feature, and it’s a bloody good idea. A well-written book talk is (to a children’s or YA librarian) worth its weight in gold. Check out the newest links gathered this week and get some ideas for book talks of your own."
Wow - Marvin is an amazing cartoonist. When will we get to see more of his hilarious comix?
What a guy! Wimpy Kid and the Origami Yoda books are huge hits at my house, too.
Thanks for sharing! These are incredible!
