1000 Books Week Two

We had 9 kids registered for the 1000 Books Before Kindergarten program last week. What a great start!

I can't wait to start putting our Star Readers' leaves up on the Reading Beanstalk!

Last week's Book of the Week was "Hugless Douglas", by David Melling. Such a cute story, great for any age!

This week's Book of the Week is "Detective Blue", by Steve Metzger, illustrated by Tedd Arnold.


"Miss Muffet is missing . . . and Detective Blue is on the case!

'Today started like any other day. The dish ran away with the spoon.'

Little Boy Blue is all grown up, and he's a detective working to find Miss Muffet. Join in the fun as Detective Blue tries to crack the case with the help of his nursery rhyme friends. The fun is never-ending as Detective Blue interrogates grown-up nursery rhyme characters in order to solve the Missing Muffet Mystery. Kids, parents, and teachers can find a list of referenced nursery rhymes and go back into the story to find the characters.
