The Many Hats of a School Librarian

Stir It Up: A Novel: A Novel by Ramin Ganeshram My rating: 3 of 5 stars I love the food network star show so this one about a kid star on the food network was fun for me. I didn't really know that is what it was about. However, I felt that it took a long time to get to the meat of the story. I did like the west indie recipes, and would consider buying the book just for those. Once things got going, though, it was a fun book to read. View all my reviews

Squish: Super Amoeba by Jennifer L. Holm My rating: 3 of 5 stars It felt like this one was a bit easier to read for me than Babymouse. Not so many big words, besides the ones that go with amoebas, and then I could look them up if I didn't know what they meant. I had no idea how science-y graphic novels could be! View all my reviews

Pirate Boy by Eve Bunting My rating: 4 of 5 stars This book is so great! I can't wait to read it to my baby when she is old enough not to rip the pages out. I hope my students can read this with their moms or awesome women who take care of them, too. View all my reviews

Take Me Out to the Ball Game by Jack Norworth My rating: 2 of 5 stars I don't really understand why this is on the 3rd-4th grade list. I get it for little kids trying to learn the song. The illustrations are nice, but am I missing something? View all my reviews

Three Hens and a Peacock by Lester L. Laminack My rating: 4 of 5 stars Did you know that everyone is important? Everyone's unique talents can be and should be put to the best use. Even if it feels unfair. It is better for everyone if we are all recognized for what we are good at, and let others succeed at their talents, too. View all my reviews
