Marcie Sillman gets the week's reading recommendation from book maven Nancy Pearl, who has chosen "Not This Bear," by Bernice Myers for young readers and "Mr. Pudgins," by Ruth Christoffer Carlsen for ages six to nine. Pearl says both books are laugh-out-loud funny, a perfect trait for a summer book.
