Biographies

Front Cover 
We have a whole collection of these biographies in the library. This collection is popular because of the funny cover illustrations and the quick quiz on the back.  They are great for finding out interesting information about all different people: presidents, entertainers and inventors.  There are hundreds of other biographies and autobiographies in our collection for all different levels of readers. 

Lots of kids who stumble upon the biographies end up wanting more because really, what's more interesting than real life?  With election day behind us it's an interesting time to consider who your favorite president is, do you have one?

Mo Willems

 
Did you hear we got new books?  Two of our new books are from one of our favorite authors, Mo Willems.   Knuffle Bunny Free (with a hard K, not a silent K) is the latest story of Trixie and her favorite stuffed lovie, Knuffle Bunny.  If you have had experience with your own or a child's favorite blankie or lovie you will relate with the adventure of this sweet, fun story. 

 
Don't Let the Pigeon Stay up Late is the latest visit from that pesky pigeon who always wants to see how far he can push the rules.  This book is a really fun read aloud because the kids LOVE to tell the pigeon "NO!" (all except the one kid in every class who lets the pigeon do whatever he wants).  Check out these fun new books in the library and tell us, what's your favorite Mo Willems book?
