1000 Books Week Thirty-One

Did everyone have a Merry Christmas? (Or Happy Holiday, if you prefer) I certainly did! Lots of fun with family and friends!

Our last Star Reader of the Week was Cory.


This week's Star Reader is Jacob! Congratulations!

Also, a big hooray for our colouring contest winners!








Great job everyone!

Our last Book of the Week was "Little Critter's The Night Before Christmas", a charming addition to the Little Critter's series.

Our thirty-first Book of the Week is "Wishes", by Jean Little.


"Make a wish and the sky's the limit in this delightful rhyming story from the incomparable Jean Little.

If wishes were ice cream, our cones would be doubles.
If wishes were soapsuds, we'd blow shining bubbles.


In this charming new picture book, children and their wild imaginations take centre stage! In a true celebration of wishers and dreamers, Jean Little entertains readers with bouncy rhymes depicting kids' favourite wishes — from puppies to pancakes; and sundaes to snowflakes.
Governor General's award-winning Canadian illustrator Geneviève Côté infuses each page with her inventive illustrations, literally turning each spread into a carnival of fun!
If wishes were stories, there would only be one — this one!" - North Winds Press
Stay tuned for our next Star Reader and Book of the Week! Have a Happy New Year!
