Books to Eat Round 3 Success

There were over 100 entries for this final books to eat round, with contributions by well over that number, with many Prek, K and 1st grade classes all working together on class entries. I’m always awestruck by the creativity of some of our students, parents and teachers. It makes me smile so much when I hear a student sharing why they added what they did to their entry, and who helped them, and how long it took. I’m so proud of what this Books to Eat Celebration has become, something to look forward to as it highlights creativity and connection, collaboration, and of course, cake!

I couldn’t end this post without highlighting one very special baker, who whether she is in Shanghai, Hong Kong, Tokyo, or now New York, enters EVERY SINGLE TIME. Bravo for Lizzy who has wowed us this year with her delicious looking entry for Harold and The Purple Crayon. Check out Lizzy’s Instagram account, @lizzybakes212 to see her video post from April 28th showing how she put this entry together as well as many of her other incredible creations.

Thanks for always supporting Books to Eat Lizzy.

Books to Eat Back in Action

Hooray

The Month we’ve all been waiting for….drumroll please…it’s nearly April, or, as we like to call it in the library, Books to Eat Month!

This April we also have Battle of the Books for 31 5th graders, and our Cardboard Challenge, so it will be a little more wonderful than normal.

Firstly, if you type in books to eat in the search at the top right corner of the page, you can scroll through the last 8 years of Books to Eat. Even though Covid kept us out of the library last year, it did not keep us out of our creative kitchens, and we had plenty of entries from all over the world. Some of the links may have changed, but there are still plenty of videos and photos to scroll through once you’ve done that search on my blog.
