Summer Reading Program is Coming

Here are three books from our collection that will play a role in the summer reading program this year. That means summer is coming!

Tales from the Odyssey: The One-Eyed Giant
By Mary Pope Osborne (author who writes Magic Tree House
Lesson learned? Nothing good comes from pretending to be crazy to get out of jobs you don't want to do... Remember that the next time your Mom asks you to clear the supper table. Will Odysseus foil the one-eyed cyclops? Can he do it? Yes he can!

Catwings
BY URSULA K. LE GUIN
"It's absolutely unfair," the thrush cried. "I don't see why," a mouse said. "You've always had wings. Now the cats do. What's unfair about that."

Ned Mouse Breaks Away
BY TIM WYNNE-JONES
What's a mouse to do when he's stuck in jail. If it wasn't for the temptation of the Warden's tiramisu he would have made it out the first time. Now he must get clever.

Meow!

Last week was all things cats. I love the language of Kiplings' haughty cat who has every luxury within its clever reach but just can't resist a chance to lip off and while not losing everything definetly makes its own life much harder.

There is also these very clever animations (clunky as they may be)that tell the story.
AS well one of our very own cat lovers recommended the book "Warriors: The Lost Warrior" a manga by Erin Hunter. Ah the disdain of the free for the "kittypet" but even the free need help sometimes...

Why do Aliens Hate Spongebob??

From the kid masters themselves...we ask these questions: Will the capture of Patrick and Mrs. Puff lure Spongebob out into the open so that the Aliens can carry out their evil plan? Will the Aliens think all Earthlings are made of sponge??

"Sound OFF" otherwise known as a Duckworth

You can ask my kids but sometimes in the car I get a little crazy...and today I came up with this! And how the profesionals do it. Some other kids try it on. Do you think you can do better??

Oh we've got to read Bink and Gollie alrighty...

Mr.Schu has some other fun things to say about the pear as well. Tee hee I said pear.
