Top Ten Tuesday...

 
Top Ten Tuesday is a fun weekly meme hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl.

This week's theme: Books With an Adjective in the Title. 

I decided to go with some of my favorite picture books this week, because they tend to have the best adjectives.



The Steadfast Tin Soldier



The Twelve Dancing Princesses



Creepy Carrots



The Little Mouse, the Red Ripe Strawberry and the Big Hungry Bear



The Dragon and the Nibblesome Knight



Nerdy Birdy Tweets



My Big Bad Monster



The Blue Songbird



Cyrus the Unsinkable Sea Serpent




Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day



Happy Reading!

  3. How fun! ALEXANDER was the first book that came to mind when I saw today's prompt. I also love "steadfast" and "creepy" - those are great adjectives.

  4. Children's books do have the best adjectives, calculated to draw kids in. You've mentioned some really good ones.

  17. Oooooh, I love your list of adjectives, I mean the books, of course. So sweet! Unfortunately, I am not that up-to-date with children's books but I always loved them.

    1. I worked in an elementary school library a few years ago, which helped keep me a little up to date with the new picture books. Not so much any more though. :)

    2. I always worked with books while my kids were at school, library, book sales, reading with them, and, of course, reading with my kids. But my youngest left school about 10 years ago, so I haven't had much information since then.

    3. Life keeps changing on us, doesn't it?

    4. It does. Sometimes for the better, sometimes for the not so good but we keep on going. And books certainly help us with that.
