From the Library

Second graders traveled with Dodsworth and the Duck from New York to Paris to London to Rome to Tokyo in Tim Egan's series. Ask your daughters what the duck's special talents are. In The Forty-Ninth Magician, written by Samuel Babbitt and illustrated by Natalie Babbitt, we learned how to turn hours into minutes and minutes into seconds. We went back to Tim Egan for Burnt Toast on Davenport Street. Ask about the wish-granting fly. In honor of the Chinese New Year we read Ed Young's Lon Po Po: A Red Riding Hood Story from China. We were able to compare other versions of Red Riding Hood with this story. This one has a "foot with a bush on it", a wolf hoisted up into a tree in search of gingko nuts, and three clever sisters.
Please continue to read with your daughters and to encourage them to share library books with siblings, babysitters, pets and You!
