Book Warrior on the Loose

11/22/2016

​I’m like a kid in a candy shop. I just returned from a professional development workshop last Thursday, “What’s New in Children’s Literature." I’m chomping at the bit to thoroughly read through the titles presented by the fabulously energetic presenter, Judy Freeman. I've got a huge stack of them already from my local library. Good news is that I was up to date with many of the titles and had purchased some of them already for the Kushner Library. Of the new ones that were recommended comes a tribute to all stories that have ever been told or written, I Am A Story by D. Yaccarino. Beginning with, “I am a story. I was told around a campfire,” it then continues to include a history of stories, including the ones that were censored, banned and burned.

Here are some of the other recommended titles:
Bonesville by J.L. Fromental – a combination humorous, detective book and a look at the different bones of the human body
Have You Seen my Trumpet? by M. Escoffier – “a play on words within words book” 
Ideas All Around by P. Stead – If you’re wondering where you can find ideas for a story go take a walk because it's waiting right there for you.
Lions Lessons by J. Agee- Oh so funny! A boy wants to take lessons, not just any lessons, so he signs up for Lion Lessons that comes with 7 easy steps. 
Nanette’s Baguette by M. Willems – You won't  believe how many words rhyme with baguette in the English language. 
The Night Gardener by T. and E. Fan – Ohh so gorgeous! Grim Grimloch Lane becomes lively with the creation of fabulous topiaries.
Rules of the House by M. Myers-  One sibling follows  rules while the other does not.  One runs away and then returns to save his sister from being eaten by the monsters.
Steamboat School by D. Hopkinson – We should never take education for granted! 
The Creepy Case Files of Margo Maloo by D. Weing – Trolls, vampires and ghouls romp around in this graphic novel. 

Need more titles? Just write or call. Ask me. Anita Silvey says that those of us in love with Children's Literature are Book Warriors. We just want to share stories so that they will indeed live forever.

    My students call me "Lori the Librarian." For the past 25 years I have had the best job as School Librarian in the Aaron Kushner Library for grades K-3 at the Solomon Schechter Day School of Greater Boston.
