My 8 year old son is reading Racso and the Rats of NIMH and he says it’s the best book he has ever read. You have no idea how good it is to hear him say that because it’s pretty hard to get him to read most of the times.
His teacher gives them time […]
Have you heard of the book The Rainbow Fish? I have and we own a copy. I’ve read it to my children many times.
Kelly over at One Book Two Book, was browsing at Amazon looking at the reviews of this book and you have to go read what she found. This book has sparked a […]
Phil Lerman, of Dadditude, graciously agreed to do a guest post for Play Library. This book is one that I think every dad should have. I am buying a few myself for Christmas presents. You’re going to love his wit, sense of humor and his overall look at being a dad. I know you’re going […]
My daughter has been reading Double Fudge by Judy Blume. I have not heard her laugh so hard while reading a book in a long time. She is just eating it up and finished the book in not time. She just couldn’t put it down. I love to see my kids read and I love […]
We recently picked up a copy of Pattern Bugs by Trudy Harris, illustrated by Anne Canevari Green, from the library. The illustrations are colorful and lively. Each bug that’s introduced demonstrates a new or different pattern through the words of its rhyme, and each rhyme allows for a turn-of-the-page pause to give […]
The theme for our library’s summer reading program this year is pirates, and so all of the books from this week’s storytime had some type of water or sea theme. My favorite of the bunch was The Water Hole by Graeme Base.
I’d never read one of Base’s books, and when I mentioned to […]
There aren’t many stories read at the library’s storytime that get me to say, “No way!” Okay, so I didn’t actually say it out loud, but I was thinking it! That happened at the very beginning of the book Yard Sale!, written and illustrated by Mitra Modarressi. The line, specifically, was, “One […]
I’ve never been good at falling right to sleep. I was going to say that I’ve never been a good sleeper, but that would be entirely untrue. Once I’m asleep, I think I could sleep for days. The falling asleep, however, has never come easy for me. My sister and Bald […]
I love fun books that encourage a little silliness when they’re being read, and this is one of those fun books!
We try to hit storytime at the library each week. The kids love the songs and dances and the animated ways that the children’s librarian reads the stories to them. Every once in […]
Hsien mentioned the trend towards Easter baskets being filled with toys and asked what others put in their children’s baskets.
Since our oldest celebrated her first Easter, our tradition has been to include a book with the basket, which is filled with a small chocolate bunny and just a few other candies.
The books have always had […]
