2. Horrid Henry's Underpants, by Francesca Simon

Picture Books I Read Aloud:
1. The Berenstain Bears Get the Gimmees, by Stan and Jan Berenstain

I don't think I would have gotten through the books I did in January if it weren't for audiobooks. There's nothing like multitasking when you've got a good audiobook!

I've gotten a lot of good holds turning up at the library this month so far, so February's shaping up to be a good reading month.
