It’s hard to do both of those things, move and read. I am halfway through about five books right now because I will start one and then lose it in my room, only to start another one and subsequently lose it as well. So right now I am sticking with picture books, one of my all-time favorite book genres (hence the title children’s manager!).
This morning we had a great crowd for Story Time and I read one of my favorite new books–and one I think is an instant classic–DOG LOVES BOOKS! Dog loves books so much, he opens his own bookstore. When no one shows up, he occupies his time getting lost in his books, until one day a customer comes in and he know exactly what to recommend! While that’s not quite how it works here at Lemuria, we are avid readers as Peyton mentioned in her post and we try to know exactly what to recommend when you come in!
Another favorite right now is Man Gave Names to All the Animals. This book is the lyrics of a Bob Dylan song by the same name and the illustrations are done by Jim Arnosky. I just love the pictures in this book! The lush landscapes, all the animal species–you could look at this book for quite a while, just naming all the animals. And to top it off, the book comes with a CD of the Dylan song to listen to. This is a perfect book for any library.
And don’t miss next week’s great read with Bats at the Ballgame by Brian Lies. For those of you who loved Bats at the Library and Bats at the Beach, you will love this installment! They are our favorite bats since Stellaluna! See you next Saturday at 10:30!
