Pink Is for Blobfish: Discovering the World's Perfectly Pink Animals
Jess Keating
@agracru @Jess_Keating It’s fantastic!! We also recommend Pink is for Blobfish, Cute as an Axolotl, and Gross as a Snot Otter. Also looks like there’s one about size that we haven’t read yet…

Carrot and Pea: An Unlikely Friendship
Morag Hood
@MathMinds @allisonhintz124 @smithant @EGannon5 Some ones that come to mind: “Circle! Sphere!” by @pacylin “Carrot and Pea: An Unlikely Friendship” by Morag Hood (Despite my love for the C&P lessons in Investigations, I have actually never read that one with a class)

Baby Goes to Market
Atinuke
Today in Gr 1: #mathematizingchildrensliterature with “Baby Goes to Market,” by Atinuke & A Brooksbank. Kids were falling over themselves with mathematical ideas on the first reading! (notice/wonder) Tomorrow, we revisit it with a math specific lens. @allisonhintz124 @smithant https://t.co/blLPFyRoOb

What Makes a Monster?: Discovering the World's Scariest Creatures
Jess Keating
@agracru My theory is that a screenwriter bought @Jess_Keating's "What Makes a Monster" for their child -- this is the book that introduced me to zombie fungus -- and nobody in that house has slept since. Now everyone is sharing the knowledge! (Also: Jess Keating writes great books.) https://t.co/tfzbmH7ygA
