I know they confuse me, especially the downtown library. Well this book was written for the purpose of unconfusing people about public libraries. Even if you are ninety nine this book is jam packed with information on public libraries, like how to check out books, how to use the card catalog and what are some courtesy rules when in a library? I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to know more about libraries. It would be great for newbie’s or if going on a field trip to the public library with a class. __<span style="color: red; font-family: Batang,serif; font-size: 12pt;">How Many Miles to Bethlehem? __<span style="color: red; font-family: Batang,serif; font-size: 12pt;">(Historical Fiction) <span style="font-family: Batang,serif; font-size: 12pt;">Written By: Kevin Crossley-Holland <span style="font-family: Batang,serif; font-size: 12pt;"> Illustrated By: Peter Malone <span style="font-family: Batang,serif; font-size: 12pt;">We all know this story by heart and can tell it without having to read it from the Bible. Jesus’s birth. In this rendition of the birth of Jesus, each character, Mary, the shepherds, the wise men, and even the sheep tell their tid-bit of what happened the day of Jesus’s birth. Personally this was not my favorite retelling of the Christmas story. It almost seemed confusing since it was told from multiple perspectives. Accuracy wise it was okay but could have been better. __<span style="color: red; font-family: Batang,serif; font-size: 12pt;">Pig-Boy: A Trickster Tale from Hawai’i __<span style="color: red; font-family: Batang,serif; font-size: 12pt;"> (Multicultural Folklore) <span style="font-family: Batang,serif; font-size: 12pt;">Written and Illustrated By: Gerald McDermott <span style="font-family: Batang,serif; font-size: 12pt;">Every culture has their own stories of how things came to be. For many Westerners, we believe that God created and causes natural disasters. For Hawai’I pig-boy was the reason that there were tsunamis and volcanic eruptions. Pig-boy is a trickster who goes around the islands causing mayhem all day, like a wild boar and being cuddly and sweet like a little boy, all night. Since I don’t understand Hawaiian myths all that well, for me __Pig-Boy: A Trickster Tale from Hawai’i__ was different and I was uninterested. The illustrations were entertaining though and it might be a good book if studying different cultures and their tales. __<span style="color: red; font-family: Batang,serif; font-size: 12pt;">How Humans Make Friends __ <span style="font-family: Batang,serif; font-size: 12pt;">Written and Illustrated By: Loreen Leedy <span style="font-family: Batang,serif; font-size: 12pt;">To another species humans do weird things and interact in ways that seem alien to others. Dr. Zork Tripork is a Martian who just return from and expedition to planet Earth. Dr. Tripork tells his alien students of all the ways humans are different than their species, one of them being how we make friends. This book gives a different perspective of how humans interact with a comical twist that any age group would enjoy. __<span style="color: red; font-family: Batang,serif; font-size: 12pt;">Emily’s Everyday Manners __<span style="color: red; font-family: Batang,serif; font-size: 12pt;"> (Realistic Fiction) <span style="font-family: Batang,serif; font-size: 12pt;">Written By: Peggy Post and Cindy Post Senning ED.D. <span style="font-family: Batang,serif; font-size: 12pt;">Illustrated By: Steve Bjorkman <span style="font-family: Batang,serif; font-size: 12pt;">It is always nice to have good manners. Kids learn manner from a very young age and usually put them into practice when interacting with their peers or adults. __Emily’s Everyday Manners__ is about a girl and her friend that just love to use their manners, no matter what the situation. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who has or works with children. The book gives example of scenarios where you would use manners and even tips on what not to say. __<span style="color: red; font-family: Batang,serif; font-size: 12pt;">Lost and Found __ <span style="font-family: Batang,serif; font-size: 12pt;">Written and Illustrated By: Oliver Jeffers __<span style="font-family: Batang,serif; font-size: 12pt;">Lost and Found __<span style="font-family: Batang,serif; font-size: 12pt;"> is a heart warming story about a boy that finds a penguin on his front step one day. The boy tries to find where the penguin belongs through asking some other birds around if they might know where the penguin belongs. After no success the boy decides to research penguins to find out where they belong. He discovers they belong in the South Pole, so him and his new found friend get a row boat and row all the way there, enjoying each other’s company along the way. When they finally make it to the South Pole both the boy and the penguin are distraught to leave one another. A story of the lengths you will go for a friend, even if it means taking them all the way to the South Pole! __<span style="color: red; font-family: Batang,serif; font-size: 12pt;">The Dog That Walked With God __<span style="color: red; font-family: Batang,serif; font-size: 12pt;"> (Multicultural Folklore) <span style="font-family: Batang,serif; font-size: 12pt;">Written By: Michael J. Rosen <span style="font-family: Batang,serif; font-size: 12pt;">Illustrated By: Stan Fellows <span style="font-family: Batang,serif; font-size: 12pt;">Many have heard of different renditions of the creation story, but I have never heard of one like this. In this particular picture book, the author takes the creation story of the Kato Indians and fills the pages with descriptive words of how the creator and his dog made the world. Put together with beautiful water color illustrations this is a great book for anyone who wants to understand the beliefs of creation through the eyes of a Kato Indian. __<span style="color: red; font-family: Batang,serif; font-size: 12pt;">Robin Hood and the Golden Arrow __<span style="color: red; font-family: Batang,serif; font-size: 12pt;"> (Folklore) <span style="font-family: Batang,serif; font-size: 12pt;">Retold By: Robert D. San Souci <span style="font-family: Batang,serif; font-size: 12pt;">Illustrated By: E.B. Lewis <span style="font-family: Batang,serif; font-size: 12pt;">We have all heard of the story of Robin Hood and some of us may have even seen a movie or two about the daring man of Sherwood Forest. The Sheriff of Nottingham is always out to fool Robin and his band of merry men into being captured. This time Robin and his gang try to outsmart the Sheriff of Nottingham, by winning an archery competition where the prize is a pure golden arrow. Can Robin and his men go disguised with out being captured? __<span style="color: red; font-family: Batang,serif; font-size: 12pt;">Waiting for Wings __<span style="color: red; font-family: Batang,serif; font-size: 12pt;"> (Realistic Fiction) <span style="font-family: Batang,serif; font-size: 12pt;">Written and Illustrated By: Lois Ehlert <span style="font-family: Batang,serif; font-size: 12pt;">Butterflies are one of those creatures that are truly fascinating to watch grow from egg, to pupa, to the butterfly itself. Lois Ehlert does a phenomenal job in her children’s book __Waiting for Wings__, going through all the stages of a butterfly. Along with her vibrant pictures this boo would be perfect when learning the science of the butterfly and how it comes into being. __<span style="color: red; font-family: Batang,serif; font-size: 12pt;">Freedom School, Yes! __<span style="color: red; font-family: Batang,serif; font-size: 12pt;"> (Historical Fiction) <span style="font-family: Batang,serif; font-size: 12pt;">Written By: Amy Littlesugar <span style="font-family: Batang,serif; font-size: 12pt;">Illustrated By: Floyd Cooper <span style="font-family: Batang,serif; font-size: 12pt;">Jolie was not very excited at the idea of a white teacher coming to teach at the newly founded Freedom School. Let alone the idea that Jolie’s mother had volunteered to house the nineteen year old Annie, who would be the teacher. On the first night that Annie stayed with Jolie and her family, someone threw a brick with a nasty not attached to it telling Annie to go home. Also that same night the church where the Freedom School was supposed to meet was burned to the ground. Will Jolie ever be able to like this new white teacher?

Josh tells of all the good and bad times he and his family had to face to finally make it to their destination. Since it is told from the perspective of a nine year old, it is an easy read that I would recommend for grades 2-6. __<span style="color: #7030a0; font-family: Batang,serif; font-size: 12pt;">Monday with a Mad Genius __<span style="color: #7030a0; font-family: Batang,serif; font-size: 12pt;"> (Fantasy) <span style="font-family: Batang,serif; font-size: 12pt;">Written and Illustrated By: Mary Pope Osborne <span style="font-family: Batang,serif; font-size: 12pt;">Brother-sister duo Annie and Jack are on another adventure once again.

Even her friends try to do the same thing claiming that Warren love them the best. When one day Junie B. tries to be herself she finally realizes that it is not outward appearance that should make someone like you, but the inward qualities that count the most. <span style="font-family: Batang,serif; font-size: 12pt;">Personally I thought this book was very babyish in the language so using it for good grammar would be out of the question. As far as the moral of the story goes, I would give it a thumbs up! __<span style="color: #7030a0; font-family: Batang,serif; font-size: 12pt;">The Spiderwick Chronicles: The Field Guide __<span style="color: #7030a0; font-family: Batang,serif; font-size: 12pt;"> (Fantasy) <span style="font-family: Batang,serif; font-size: 12pt;">Written By: Tony DiTerlizzi <span style="font-family: Batang,serif; font-size: 12pt;">Illustrated By: Holly Black <span style="font-family: Batang,serif; font-size: 12pt;">When the Grace children have to move from their city apartment to their Great Aunt’s rundown house, they are less than thrilled.

In the end they discover one of the creatures but the stories have only begun. <span style="font-family: Batang,serif; font-size: 12pt;">I loved this book and may even finish the series! J <span style="font-family: Batang,serif; font-size: 12pt;"> Very fun and would be a great read aloud with students. You could even have them try to draw the different creatures based off of the books’ descriptions. __<span style="color: #7030a0; font-family: Batang,serif; font-size: 12pt;">Early Sunday Morning: The Pearl Harbor Diary of Amber Billows __<span style="color: #7030a0; font-family: Batang,serif; font-size: 12pt;"> (Historical Fiction) <span style="font-family: Batang,serif; font-size: 12pt;">Written By: Barry Deneberg <span style="font-family: Batang,serif; font-size: 12pt;">Amber Billows hates to move, but because of her father’s reporting career her and her family is forced to move once again, this time to Hawaii.

__<span style="color: #00b050; font-family: Batang,serif; font-size: 12pt;">Twilight: The Graphic Novel __<span style="color: #00b050; font-family: Batang,serif; font-size: 12pt;"> (Graphic Novel) <span style="font-family: Batang,serif; font-size: 12pt;">Written By: Stephenie Meyer <span style="font-family: Batang,serif; font-size: 12pt;">Art and Adaptation By: Young Kim <span style="font-family: Batang,serif; font-size: 12pt;">Many of us have read or seen at least one of the Twilight books or movies. This was another twist on the story that was both fast paced and interesting. When I first heard of the idea of a graphic novel, I did not think I would like it at all. I was quite surprised at the novel. I really liked it. I loved how it was easy to read, short and to the point, and still told the main points of the story. With seeing the movie I think it was easier to understand the story line and what the graphic novel was trying to get at. I did really enjoy it and would probably read another one if I had free time to. I would recommend this book for junior high or high school. It just had some mature ideas in it that younger children would not understand. __<span style="color: #00b050; font-family: Batang,serif; font-size: 12pt;">Requiem: Poems of the Terezin Ghetto __<span style="color: #00b050; font-family: Batang,serif; font-size: 12pt;"> (Historical Fiction) <span style="font-family: Batang,serif; font-size: 12pt;">Written By: Paul B. Janeczko <span style="font-family: Batang,serif; font-size: 12pt;">Illustrations By: World War II Concentration Camp Individuals <span style="font-family: Batang,serif; font-size: 12pt;">A different type of way to tell the pain, suffering, and gruesome torture that those of the Terezin Ghetto underwent. This book is both fictional and nonfictional. The author takes ideas from interviews of survivors of the Holocaust to write the poems in this book. He also makes some of the poems up, but still being very connected with the lives of those that suffered in the Terezin Ghetto. I have read many Holocaust stories, but this one put a new twist to reading. It was very easy to read but at the same time graphic and heartbreaking just like all of the others. A couple poems are told from the perspective of the Nazi soldiers, one of compassion and disgust and another of hate and revenge. I really liked how the author researched the lives and history before forming the poems. It made it so much more real or what actually happened during the Holocaust. I would recommend this for high school because some of the poems are very graphic and gruesome. I loved this book! __<span style="color: #00b050; font-family: Batang,serif; font-size: 12pt;">Homecoming __<span style="color: #00b050; font-family: Batang,serif; font-size: 12pt;"> (Realistic Fiction) <span style="font-family: Batang,serif; font-size: 12pt;">Written By: Cynthia Voigt <span style="font-family: Batang,serif; font-size: 12pt;">Dicey’s mother is insane, literally. She leaves Dicey, who is twelve years old, and her three younger siblings in a shopping mall to fend for themselves. Dicey takes it upon herself to get her and her siblings to their Great Aunt Cilia’s house, where her mother was supposedly taking them in the first place. The four journey over 200 miles on foot until they finally reach their aunts house. When they get there it is not how mama told them it would be. The children now have to find away to get to the family that never knew they existed. A great story of the perseverance of four brave siblings! This would be a great story to read aloud to upper elementary and have older students read independently. It has strong themes of the bond of siblings that many young readers could relate to. <span style="font-family: Batang,serif;"> <span style="font-family: Batang,serif;"> <span style="font-family: Batang,serif;">
