The Room With A View

It's your school library of course! It's the one room you should get to know ASAP! Make a visit to your school library an essential part of your week. You'll get access to every literacy skill imaginable!

And make the connection: Borrow Newberry Award winner Jerry Spinelli's The Library Card. There are four stories in this book and the only thing that keeps the stories together is the reappearing, blue library card. It'll lend credence to the power of books, literature and your local school librarian. You'll never look at a library card the same way again...

Fairy Gifts

And speaking of fairy gifts, can you believe the gift given by the fairy Lucinda to Ella? Just imagining what would happen next kept me reading Gail Carson Levine's Ella Enchanted in one sitting! And those ogres! Yikes! I guess I'll just stick to wishing for my favorite gifts instead - books and dark chocolates and paper dolls and stationeries and trips to new places and stuffed toys (still!) - and leave the fairy gifts to fiction where they belong!
