So many movies have come out lately that are based on children’s books and we have the stories before they made it to the big screen. Percy Jackson and the Olympian books have been very big lately, so big we have trouble keeping it on the shelf! Alice in Wonderland is also another big seller. We have everything from the gorgeously illustrated edition by Robert Ingpen to Robert Sabuda’s pop-up version! And we can’t forget the blockbuster that came out this past weekend: The Diary of a Wimpy Kid. We have the four books in the series, as well as the Do-it-yourself Diary and the Wimpy Movie Diary. And speaking of movies, if you have been alive for the past few years, you have heard of Twilight. The Twilight Graphic Novel Vol. 1 is out, and we have it. Come see what you think about the drawings and this different take on our favorite characters.
Story Time:
Last week’s story time was with the wonderful Susie! She read Miss Brooks Loves Books (and I don’t!) by Barbara Bottner
This week’s story time will be with me and since 
Gilbert Ford will be here the Saturday before Easter to sign his fantabulous new picture book Flying Lessons, we will be having our Easter story time this Saturday with The Easter Egg by Jan Brett. Come join us as we read this fun story and decorate plastic Easter eggs with Jan Brett stickers. And, of course, candy will be involved. We’ll be having a blast and you won’t want to miss this one of a kind storytime here in Oz!
