The Many Hats of a School Librarian

The Three Ninja Pigs by Corey Rosen Schwartz My rating: 3 of 5 stars This is a great book about sticking with something long enough to get good at it. It also helps to give background knowledge about some martial arts. I like that it is just another story based on the 3 little pigs. However, I question whether it's a good idea to talk about fighting at school. Is it different when we are talking about marital arts, or is it just fighting? View all my reviews

11 Birthdays by Wendy Mass My rating: 3 of 5 stars I listened to this books by checking out the digital audiobook and downloading it to my mp3 player. I listened to it while we took a long road trip. At first, I was kind of bored. Was I really going to sit this whole time and just listen to a story about a girl and her birthday party? Well, I kept listening and then the twist happened and I wanted to keep listening. I didn't even notice how boring the drive through the cornfields of Iowa was because I was busy visualizing the girl's party... over and over again. I even wanted to keep listening once we got to our destination. View all my reviews

Dying to Meet You by Kate Klise My rating: 3 of 5 stars I liked that this is a ghost story - but more funny than scary. It's a series; I wonder what the next books are about? It was cool how the story was told in letters. View all my reviews

Bake Sale by Sara Varon My rating: 3 of 5 stars I really liked how the pictures told the story more than the words! However, you didn't need to study the details to get the story like you do in other graphic novels. Definitely a fun book! View all my reviews
