Meet this week's Storytime Reader:
Angel Perez
He recently graduated from UTEP with a Bachelors in Biology. Angel is working to become a high school science teacher. Ever since he sat in a lab and got to see how the world works, he has wanted to become a science teacher. He loves going outdoors to experience nature, especially hiking and rock climbing. He is excited to be back to read for Books are GEMS! Angel is also our former Bookstore Manager for Books are Gems!
**The first 50 families to come to the bookstore during the week will receive two new story books free!
The Magic School Bus
Ms. Frizzle's class is having a hard time putting together a giant globe of the world. A piece is missing...an island so new it hasn't been discovered yet! Before they know it, the kids are beneath the ocean’s surface, exploring an underwater volcano. Join the class as they learn about volcanoes. Check out the vocabulary words attached with the activities.

George and Martha, Two Great Friends
Any children's book whose very first sentence is "George was fond of peeking in windows" is impossible to put down. And the third: "He never did that again." SPOILER ALERT: she places her clawfoot tub upside down on his giant head. Even for a hippo, this seems unlikely, but I'm guessing that anyone reading a book about talking hippos that walk on their hind legs isn't in search of reality. Despite the book's beginning, which makes you start to think lots of poorly thought-out scenarios are to follow, this is a cute easy-reader with some good lessons on privacy, vanity and ... I don't know ... something else. There are teaching moments in this hilarious book.
