I think most of our 1000 Books Before Kindergarten kids were enjoying the warm summer afternoon at the beach yesterday - we only had four kids at the 1000 Books Party! Still, those that were there had a riot with our excellent readers, and got to make their very own special book to take home!
Big thanks to Jeri Wolf, Sean McIntyre, Raina Varty, Shannan Sword, and Barry Sigurdson for taking time out of their day to read to our 1000 Books kids! They loved it!
Last week's Book of the Week was "Library Lion", by Michelle Knudsen, a sweet tale about a loving lion who learns the rules of the library, and how sometimes it's okay to break them.
With the Jazz Festival upon us, our twelfth Book of the Week is "Jazz Baby", by Lisa Wheeler.
"With a simple clap of hands, an itty-bitty beboppin' baby gets his whole
family singing and dancing. Sister's hands snap. Granny sings scat. Uncle
soft-shoes--and Baby keeps the groove. Things start to wind down when Mama and
Daddy sing blues so sweet. Now a perfectly drowsy baby sleeps deep, deep,
deep."
I hope everyone enjoys the rest of their summer, and keeps up with their reading! We've got some new, exciting prizes for kids who bring back their reading sheets!
