This Week's Books Will Be Read for Saturday StoryTime!
The one hundredth day of school at Frank N. Stein Elementary School is the best day of the year for all the monsters except Jane Brain. Readers will learn fun--and sometimes spooky--ways of counting to one hundred in this book.
The 100th day of school is almost here and one student is desperate to find 100 of anything to bring to class. Then all of sudden inspiration strikes, and he comes up with a surprise that makes the 100th day celebration one to remember! This hilarious story of a popular school tradition offers a perfect modern twist on Clement C. Moore’s classic poem.
Float along with the Fog Maiden as she takes two children on an enchanted bedtime adventure in this board book edition of a beautiful bedtime fantasy from a picture book master. When everyone was fast asleep, two children were awakened by Token, the Fog Maiden's mysterious cat, and sent into the magical night.
Gentle and lyrical, this forgotten classic bedtime story from the author of Quiet and Strega Nona is back to enchant a new generation of fans. Soft illustrations paired with an imaginative text take readers on a dreamlike journey-- sharing milk and honey with the trolls, watching the peacocks waltz, and attending a palace ball-- before tucking them safely back into bed.
Cozy, quiet, and sure to delight, the Fog Maiden's sweet dream is shared.
