I love what this book represents. The author Jess McGeachin sees the wonder there is in books and libraries and has brought it to life in this picture book.
The Lost Library
From the Library Shelves
The good (and bad) thing about working in a library is that you find little gems on the shelves nearly every shift...I have had to learn to not bring every book home that I love. I couldn't go past this book because it is perfect for my story time session I am taking this week. When it comes to The Very Hungry Caterpillar I normally prefer the original book, but this lift-the-flap version is so sweet and perfect for my toddler group this week.
Throwback Thursday – The Enchanted Wood
Enid Blyton has never strayed far from children's bookshelves, and her books are still so very popular today. One thing I see as a Librarian is that parents trust the content in Enid Blyton books because they read them as a child, they know the content and understand them to be a safe read for their child.
D-BOT Squad Series & Giveaway
I know I say this about so many books that I read BUT I really really really love these first 4 books in the D-Bot Squad series. I am not the only one who loves them because according to reviews on the D-Bot Squad web page children are saying that these books are AWESOME and made them feel both AMAZING, and EXCITED. I agree with them…because I read one after the other until I had read all 4. You know how some people binge watch TV...I believe I just binge read the first four books in this series and if you continue reading you will see why.
The Artistic Literacy Experience
Recently I did a couple of different story times based on dinosaurs at two different libraries. I was excited to use the Knock Knock Dinosaur book by Nick East that I recently reviewed at both the story times and it was a hit! Both sessions were different sizes so the other books I chose were based on those groups, so the other books I used were different at each session.
Imagination
The joy in his face and words didn't stop. He would get so excited about so many details about the book. Constantly pointing to what delighted him most in the book. He and I had never met before, yet he was not afraid to share his happiness with me.
Nature Explorers – A Stem Experience
Each of these books are a little treasure trove of information and facts. As I turned each page I was quit excited what I found. Facts and activities that are engaging for children but also a scientific learning experience.
Board Books are NOT just for babies!
This book provided this librarian with a lesson and this librarian is pleased to learn.
Who Has The Red Bow Tie?
