I’ve finished all of the books from the Easy Readers category of the Cybils Shortlist, yippee! And that deserves an extra yippee because besides the somewhat boring but nicely illustrated Cork & Fizz: The Babysitters, I actually enjoyed this year’s Down Girl and Sit: Home on the Range. It had prairie dogs! I laughed all of the way through it.
This was a good year for the easy readers. I actually loved a Down Girl and Sit and an Elephant and Piggie book. (That doesn’t mean I want to see either in next year’s list. Let’s not press our luck, ok?)
