Storybook Classics

This week, I read Kindergarten two of my favorite classics--The Story of Ferdinand by Munro Leaf and The Little House by Virginia Lee Burton. Every time I read them, I think of my grandparents reading to me when I was a child. When I spent the night at their house, I would raid the children's books that belonged to my mother and her brothers. Several of my aunts, uncles, cousins, and I could probably recite I Wish That I Had Duck Feet by heart. In fact, my grandma and her twin sister read that book to their great grandchildren now! These stories are wonderful heirlooms to be passed down from generation to generation.  For some warm fuzzies before bedtime, consider choosing these books this summer!

Luau Success

Our Book Fair was a major success this year!  We made $10,589.14 in profits and earned $2,423.15 for the library.  Thank you so much to the volunteers and visitors who made Overbrook’s book fair a success!  A special thank you to Dr. Michael Marro, the Book Fair Chairman, for all his help.  I hope all of your children have a book that they love from the Fair.

How do you know it's Book Fair time?  I haven't updated the blog in quite a long time!  Now that Book Fair season is over, I don't have to neglect Blue, Gold and Read All Over.  Now that's something to hula about!
