1000 Books Week Forty-Seven

Summer is fast approaching! Lots of excitement going on at the library! Registration for our Summer Reading Program opens June 1st!

Our last Star Reader of the Week was Ryanne!


This week's Star Reader is Hayden! Congratulations!

Our last Book of the Week was "The Monster at the End of this Book", by Jon Stone, a delightful book starring lovable, furry old Grover.

Our forty-seventh Book of the Week is "Thesaurus Rex", by Laya Steinberg.


"Encourage children to explore synonyms using the adorable Thesaurus Rex. Rex, a dinosaur who has an irresistible way with words, will "slither, skid, slide and glide" his way into children's hearts. Paired with Debbie Harter's vibrant watercolours, Laya Steinberg's energetic text will engage even the youngest of audiences.
But Thesaurus Rex is more than just fun: the alliteration and end rhyme foster phonemic awareness, the action-verb synonyms strengthen young readers' vocabulary and the succinct text builds pre-literacy skills." - Barefoot Books, Inc.
 
Stay tuned for our next Star Reader and Book of the Week!
