This is one of the books that I loved bringing out in my classroom. It has a great rhythm and a fantastic message. I liked having my kids sing along with me as we talked about the differences and the similarities of people.  “Curly Hair, Straight Hair, different Mmm-Hmm - but the same Uh-Huh! How perfectly remarkably strange!”  I’m doing that from memory - so it may not be word for word - but it’s the idea…  I cannot recommend this book enough!

She kept them in for a matter of… 30 seconds.  But I did get a few shots in before she pulled them out - one of her blowing a rasberry at me.  If it wasn’t so cute I would have been offended!

I was visiting a school - celebrating thier “end of the year”.  When I sat down to start the show one of the boys in the front asked “Who is that?”

 A little girl next to him said “That’s Big Ryan, Goofy!”

Made me laugh…

I think we’re in big trouble now… Lex has just climbed her first stair.  She’s such a big girl, what happened?  Well, it’s all over now… no more baby - we just have a big girl now.

I found this book on my recent trip to South Hadley and the Gaylord Library.  I liked the idea right away - an infant keeps a diary of the first few moments of life - and talks highly of her big sister.  Much like when I watch my daughter as she stares intently at something that has caught her attention, you would give anything to know what she is thinking.  It’s like a G version of Look Who’s Talking… I love that movie…

Yes, I am a whopping 34 today - and loving it!

Check out the Upcoming shows - all of the summer shows have been added thus far - make sure you mark your calendars for the Library show near you!

I finished a show today and one little girl in the front shouted out:

 ”Do you want to know my phone-number?”

 Sadly, she got the biggest laugh of the entire performance…

I will see all who have signed up for Family Reading Night in Manomet tonight! I have a great book picked out for tonight - and an even better activity planned - so make sure you are there nice and early so we can start on time!

I forgot to do an April Book of the Month - sorry - but May’s book is an oldie but goody, one that my little girl has enjoyed many times recently - it’s Jamberry! I know many of you out there know this book very well - so I don’t have to explain it’s appeal, but if you’ve never read this book, do yourself a favor and find this book! Read and enjoy every berry-licious page! Enjoy the beautiful illustrations! And, most important, enjoy this great book over and over again!
