As the week ends and the weather gets colder, many people begin to feel under the weather themselves. I for one have been fighting off a cold for a week now, and thought that this week's Buzz on Books Book of the Week theme should be about being sick. Everybody knows it isn't fun being sick, especially when you're a teacher like Miss Malarkey and worry about your class behaving for a substitute. That can make anyone feel worse. In the book Miss Malarkey Won't Be in Today by Judy Finchler, the teacher becomes paranoid thinking about how her class will act when there is a substitute teacher. Miss Malarkey rushes to school, questioning what she may see. Readers will laugh at the crazy ideas Miss Malarkey creates in her mind, and may need to be reminded to be respectful of others.
The Get Well Soon Book: Good Wishes for Bad Times by Kes Gray and Mary McQuillan describes many injuries and illnesses that can cause a bad day for anyone. Every creature mentioned in the book needs some sort of bandage or care after their accidents. From braking a tooth to breaking out in stripes, silly things happen to silly people.
The last book is a chapter book about a girl who wants to become a doctor like Elizabeth Blackwell, the first woman doctor. In Judy Moody, M.D.: The Doctor is In! by Megan McDonald, Judy Moody learns about the human body in school. Then, she becomes even more educated when her brother Stink has tonsillitis, and soon after so does Judy Moody! Whether you are feeling under the weather and could use a good book or you are reading for pleasure and feeling great, come on in to the Children's Place at the Twinsburg Public Library and check out books today!
