How could I have listed my favorite books from 2007 and leave these two off? Here they are:Spud, by John Van De Ruit
Laugh out loud funny coming of age story set in South Africa
17 Things I'm Not Allowed to Do Anymore, by Jenny Offill and illustrated by Nancy Carpenter
Probably my very favorite picture book of 2007. I don't know how I could have left it off my other list. This book made me laugh out loud every single time I've read it. Think Junie B. or Ramona in picture book format.
