Day 329 : The week in Review February 1-7, 2021

Chatting Books Online Day 329. The week in Review February 1-7, 2021.

This week I recommended Pirate Stew to start off your week with a rollicking good time. Then it was Groundhog's Day and so I recommended Groundhog's Dilemma. Next up our friends Super Narwhal and jelly Jolt introduced a new book for the board book set with Blankie. We were then swept away with the powerful gusts and dust storms in The Four Winds . We have a new poety collection by literary greats just in time for Valentine's Day with "Timeless Love" And we wrapped up the week with a stay at home parade with The Swamp Kid's Adventure Pierre's Pirogue Parade.
