We have so many classes coming in to the library tomorrow, Feb 24th,  and I’m also visiting many classes for World Read Aloud Day. I hope you take the time to snuggle up with a good book, a good friend, and a good read. Every day is a chance to read aloud to someone special, it really is a wonderful gift you can give, and it costs you nothing but means so much. There are amazing resources to be found here, including suggestions of activities, book lists and discussion prompts.

I’ve been collecting books that I want to read to different classes, different age groups…and my pile is just getting BIGGER AND BIGGER…I can’t seem to stop collecting. I thought I’d display them all in the area where we will read, and each class can vote on what they want to hear….BUT what if they don’t choose the ones I really REALLY want to read! Oh…what a dilemma!

My trusty assistant Joji has whipped up a poster full of old images, mainly of me sitting reading to kids, something I do every single day (unless I stand and really shake things up!!!) That empty blue notice board…shudder; we must have been in a transition period!

Some of the books I’ve collected for tomorrow include:

*Yertle the Turtle

*Twelve Kinds of Ice

*Paper Bag Princess

*Owl Moon

*Each Kindness

*I Want My Hat Back
