"The love of learning, the sequestered nooks, and all the sweet serenity of books." Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1807-1882), U.S. poet
"No book is really worth reading at the age of ten which is not equally (and often far more) worth reading at the age of fifty and beyond." C.S. Lewis (1898-1963), English author
With fond memories of years in the library as a kid, I finally indulged myself late in life and earned a Master’s in Library Science with a focus on children’s and electronic services. Of course, this was after about 15 years where I actually used my business degree and “counted beans”, but then remembered I liked books much better, especially children’s literature. In addition, I have spent a few years in an elementary school library after which I put on a read aloud program for 1st through 3rd graders. Here I am offering my knowledge of children’s books and resources to help those looking for something special or just a fun read. Don’t forget to check out the book resources listed for other ideas.

I like to read Bartholomew and the Oobleck on Dr. Seuss's birthday and then have the students make Oobleck, which as Daddy D would say is a non-newtonian fluid.
WE, or should I say Kyle and Kailey
have 'Cat In the Hat', hats that they will wear to school this year. Along with wearing green for 'Green Eggs and Ham'..or red and blue for 'One Fish'. One year I made greens eggs for breakfast and Kyle couldn't/wouldn't eat them.
