We read a lot of great books this week in the Highland Library.
Third grade students listened to Who's Afraid of the Big Bad Book by Lauren Child, which in a mixed-up twisted way helped us to understand why it is so important to take care of books. The characters don't like getting spilled on, written on, crossed out or cut out of our books!! So beware if you make a mess of your book the characters may just take their own revenge!
If you are a first grade student you listened to me read Stand Tall, Molly Lou Melon by Patty Lovell. Molly Lou is small, sings out-of-key and has some lovely buck teeth but she's received good advice from her grandma about being proud of herself and it gets her through when a classmate teases her.
