From the Library

We have been reading some old favorites together in Library: Robert McCloskey's Blueberries for Sal; Judith Viorst's Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day and Alexander, Who Used to Be Rich Last Sunday; Sharon Creech's A Fine, Fine School; and Peggy Rathman's Officer Buckle and Gloria. Now we are moving on to newer books including Mac Barnett's Telephone (based on the game where a message is passed along and changes as it travels), Candace Fleming's Clever Jack Takes the Cake (recommended by the Parents' Choice Foundation), and Michael Catchpool's beautiful book The Cloud Spinner. Ask your daughter how Sal was in danger, why Alexander was obsessed with Australia, if she'd like to attend the fine fine school, how did Gloria liven up the safety tips and what Jack's present for the princess ended up being.
