"L" is for Library

"L" is for Library by Sonya Terry and Illustrated by Nicole Wong (Ages 4-8)

Wanting to be able to spend time at the library with my children, I've found my/our first library introduction book.  A wonderful, rhyming, A through Z tour of the library and best of all - "Q is for quiet, the best volume for a library voice" - helps to reinforce my shhhsh'ing.  Usually, we fly in and get the books I've reserved on line, but that is no fun.  I soon hope to be able to enjoy the library with my children.  Wish me luck!  ...please...seriously

I Spy a Freight Train

By
I Spy a Freight Train by Lucy Micklethwait (ages 4-8) While at the library my son spotted this gem and asked if we could bring home. He loves trains, so of course I said yes. We have a large freight train station in town, so it is rare that we not see a train. It's fun to see his excitement when he sees a train, but it hard to also watch him panic as the train keeps going and disappears. I called this a little gem because I didn't realize that the book about more than just freight trains. We got to spy on airplanes, row boats, horses, sleighs, a baby carriage and many more. Not to mention the other 'made up' things we spied while making a game of it. It was fun. Even more so, my children haven't heard the term baby carriage or sleigh, so that was fun to see what they thought was it. Here's another excerpt of the book. Oh, and while I am not much of an art know it all, in the back of the book are the credits for all of the pictures used. You will find the likes...

What's on My Nightstand - August

By
It's that time again when 5 Minutes for Books hosts the monthly carnival - Whats on Your Nightstand ? Click on over and see what everyone else is reading, or better yet, link up yourself and share with the rest of us what you are reading. No blog is necessary. You can always join in by leaving comments on what you are reading. I've been reading a lot of books with the kids for the 2009 Support Your Local Library Challenge hosted by J. Kaye's Book Blog , so I have not had much time for reading of my own. Because of that, I've tried to scale down the number of books that I am reading. I truly love our library system! So, among the children's books they love me to read, I am also juggling time for a few of my own. All I Really Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten by Robert Fulghum I was at my annual sales conference in July and one of our speakers referenced this book. Just from her highlights, I wanted to read more. Share everything. Play fair. Don...
