Ms. Mary's Monday Review

Please read this adorable book with your family.  It definitely teaches lessons about being tidy, and how important it is to use manners when you are a guest at someone's house.

If you really want to know where things come from, please come check out our informational books like this one.  Andrea Rivera is the author of Wood, a great little factual book we got last week.  It is on a 2.1 A. R. level, and you get a half point for taking the A. R. test.  We have several other books that are great to learn how things are made, including several "Start to Finish" books, like Tree to Paper.  Take a look at our catalog for more information!

Pura Belpre was a trailblazer!  She felt that children who came from her home island of Puerto Rico should have access to books and stories of their culture, even while they were making new homes in the United States.  Making puppets and writing books, she told and read stories in many places as she traveled far and wide.  Promoting literacy and love for culture, Ms. Belpre was at the forefront of the bilingual movement in America.
This book is on a 4.0 A. R. level, and after taking the A. R. test, you get 0.5 point.
If you need bilingual books yourself, please come visit us, and check out some of our Spanish/English books.
A word of warning:  please warn your children to spot the poor grammar on multiple pages.  There are several sentence fragments and changes in tense, but the book is an enjoyable read!

Quiet, Tomie DePaola's newest book, is a very calming breath of fresh air.  Instead of rushing with everything we do, why not sit and think?  What's wrong with slow?  This easy book is on a 1.3 Accelerated Reader (A. R.) level, and children who pass the test will get 0.5 point.
