The following books will be read this Saturday!
Madeline Finn and the Shelter Dog - Lisa Papp
Madeline Finn and the Shelter Dog centers on budding independent reader Madeline Finn, her newly adopted puppy Star (one of Bonnie’s puppies!), and their unique quest to help animals at their local shelter. This sequel was a natural leap for Lisa Papp. After spending time with so many library dogs writing the first Madeline Finn book, she became aware that many of them are former shelter dogs. Papp is a passionate animal lover and pleased these special pups are at the heart of this installment. |
ONCE UPON A BOOK - GRACE LIN
Once upon a time, there was a girl. She went to a place alive with colors, where even the morning dew was warm. Alice loves to imagine herself in the magical pages of her favorite book. So when it flaps its pages and invites her in, she is swept away to a world of wonder and adventure, riding camels in the desert, swimming under the sea with colorful fish, floating in outer space, and more! But when her imaginative journey comes to an end, she yearns for the place she loves best of all. |
TWICE AS MANY FRIENDS/!EL DOBLE DE AMIGOS! - Brian Amador
Set to a tune with both English and Spanish lyrics, this uplifting singalong shows kids that learning a new language means connecting with new people and making more friends! Call-and-response phrases reinforce language learning, and the end matter includes a list of English and Spanish phrases and pronunciations. Bright illustrations reflect the warmth and joy of the song. Includes an online access link to audio and video animation. |
