Adventures for Kids for All Ages
My book pick for October is: The Library Pages, written by Carlene Morton and illustrated by Valeria Docampo.
Change is afoot at the Happyland Elementary School Library. Mrs. Heath, the librarian, is away. Her Substitute, Mrs. Grier, falls asleep and snores in the rocking chair. And if that’s not enough, Mrs. Grier has selected a handful of students to be Library Pages! What could go wrong?
My book pick for September is: Guess How Much I Love You, written by Sam McBratney and illustrated by Anita Jeram.
“Guess how much I love you,” says Little Nutbrown Hare. Little Nutbrown Hare shows his daddy how much he loves him: as wide as he can reach and as far as he can hop. But Big Nutbrown Hare, who can reach farther and hop higher, loves him back just as much. Well then, Little Nutbrown Hare loves him right up to the moon, but that’s just halfway to Big Nutbrown Hare’s love for him.
My book pick for August is: Corduroy, written by Don Freeman.
Don Freeman’s classic character, Corduroy, is even more popular today than when he first came on the scene in 1968. This story of a small teddy bear waiting on a department store shelf for a child’s friendship has appealed to young readers generation after generation.
My book pick for July is: Just a Little Bit, written by Ann Tompert and illustrated by Lynn Munsinger.
Just a Little Bit is a hilarious story about an elephant and a mouse playing on a seesaw. When the elephant sits on one side of the seesaw and the mouse sits on the other, the elephant goes down and the mouse goes up. No matter how hard the mouse pushes down, the seesaw doesn’t budge. They call on their animal friends to help push down the seesaw. Many animals jump on but it is only when one tiny beetle joins them that the elephant and the rest of the animals can play on the seesaw.
