1000 Books Week Thirty-Eight

I hope everyone enjoyed Winterfest! I know we did. Our three Polar Bear Dip jumpers raised $1260.00 for the Library! Woot Woot!

 
 
Our last Star Reader of the Week was Jayce!
 
 
 
This week's Star Reader is Jude! Congratulations!
 
Our last Book of the Week was "Diary of a Wombat", by Jackie French, a charming tale about a wombat who trains humans to be his pets!
 
Our thirty-eighth Book of the Week is "Bully Goat Grim", by Willy Claflin.
 
 
"From the award winning creative team who brought you The Uglified Ducky, winner of the 2011 Texas Bluebonnet Award, and Rapunzel and the Seven Dwarfs comes the latest fractured fairy tale from Maynard Moose. The story has high flying bunnies, rude noises and a grammar lesson you’ll never forget. What more could you ask? An audio CD? OK, it has one of those too. In the wacky world of Maynard Moose, storyteller Willy Claflin brings us Bully Goat Grim who has a case of “Random Hostility Syndrome.” He meets his match in Baby Troll. Her heart is pure, her mind is sharp, and she knows how to handle a bully! In addition to the Fractured Moose English glossary, there are Grown-up Words included to help everyone follow the action." - August House


Stay tuned for our next Star Reader and Book of the Week!
