The Buzz on Books Book of the Week # 5

No glue... No beavers... No fortunes... No staples! What is a girl to do if she has so many rules about what she can't do?!? In the book "17 Things I'm Not Allowed To Do Anymore" by Jenny Offill and Nancy Carpenter, the main character describes certain things that she has done, was reprimanded for, and was told by her mother never to do them again. From tormenting her younger brother to disrupting her class, she learns how not to behave. Readers of all ages will giggle when reading what this girl comes up with. Come to the Twinsburg Public Library today and read this book with the troublemaker in your family.

The Buzz on Books Book of the Week # 4

This week's book of the week is for children who are not old enough to be in school yet. "Buzz" is by Janet S. Wong. The story focuses on the routine a family goes through every day. As the mommy and daddy buzz around getting ready, the boy watches and counts how many times some one or thing buzzes around him, just like a bumble bee buzzes. For families getting back in to a routine and buzzing about, this book is a quick read and quite cute. Buzz on in to the Children's Place of the Twinsburg Public Library and check it out as you buzz about during your busy day!

The Buzz on Books Book of the Week # 3

As children prepare for the first day of school, the perfect book for those starting Kindergarten is "Countdown to Kindergarten" by Alison McGhee. It is ten days before school starts, and the main character in the book is worried she will be made fun of and isolated because she cannot tie her shoes on her own. Every day she counts down to the BIG DAY, trying to learn how to tie her shoes. I won't ruin the end for you, but the girl realizes going to Kindergarten is nothing to worry about. Come find this book at the Twinsburg Public Library and check it out today!

The Buzz on Books Book of the Week #2

Waking up this morning to the thunderstorm, I decided this week's Book of the Week should match the weather we will be having all week. Mary Lyn Ray's "Red Rubber Boot Day" is a rainy day book about a boy explaining what all there is to do on a rainy day. Drawing, playing make believe, and even splashing in the puddles until the sun shines again are some of the activities that the boy participates in. This book will make a great book for a beginning reader any day of the week, rain or shine. Come check it out today at the Twinsburg Public Library!
