1000 Books Week Fifteen

The first week of school is behind us! No more lazying about the house, sleeping in until noon, going down to the lake whenever we feel like it! (Though that sounds pretty good, doesn't it?)

Last week's Star Reader was Easton - here he is getting his goodies!


This week's Star Reader is Huston.

If you haven't already registered in this exciting program, do so now! Children win prizes for reading!

Last week's Book of the Week was "Z is for Moose", by Kelly Bingham, a cute story about a Moose who doesn't want to be ignored!

Our fifteenth Book of the Week is "The Cow Loves Cookies", by Karma Wilson.


 
"The horse loves hay, the chickens need feed, the geese munch on corn, the hogs devour slop, the dog eats treats, but THE COW LOVES COOKIES?
A twist on the ordinary barnyard picture book, the latest read-aloud from bestselling author Karma Wilson is a clever entry into an curious incident on the farm. As the farmer makes his rounds each day, most of the animals chew on the foods a young reader would expect. But when it's time to feed the cow, she feasts on a special treat! Wilson's signature style and Marcellus Hall's spirited watercolors will delight children on and off the farm--because when it comes down to it, who doesn't love milk and cookies?"
 Stay turned for next week's Book of the Week and Star Reader! Keep up the good reading!
