Friday, December 7, 2007. I went to my first American Association of School Librarians conference this year in Reno, NV. It was a wonderful experience. I attended a preconference workshop presented by Dr. Ruth Cox Clark on "Young Adult Literature for the YouTube. I especially enjoyed the Exhibit Hall where over 200 vendors were represented.

http://librarytiger.blogspot.com/2007/10/pumpkin-soup.html
Monday, October 15, 2007. We’re well into October and as my three-year-old, Sammy, keeps saying, “It’s almost Halloween! 8221; I hit the bookstore a few days ago and returned with these two books. They have Sammy’s seal of approval. Is a rollicking tale of three friends: Cat, Squirrel, and Duck. They live together happily in a little white cabin and every day they make pumpkin soup, the best you’ve every tasted! The curious preschooler will want to know. Well, it was the best you ever tasted, of course!

Kane/Miller Kidlit: Cookies!
http://kanemillerkidlit.blogspot.com/2008/12/cookies.html
Thursday, December 18, 2008. There is nothing quite like baking to get you in the holiday spirit! We have an annual Grandma Cookie Day where both our mothers come out to bake with the boy. The first year I spent two hours making him the perfect little apron for the event. He lost interest after fifteen minutes and buried himself in the couch. Subsequent years have been more successful, and we always make a point of trying a new recipe. This year's cookie comes from. The Story of Cherry the Pig. AWARD-WIN...

Kane/Miller Kidlit: Life & Death
http://kanemillerkidlit.blogspot.com/2008/12/life-death.html
Friday, December 19, 2008. Yesterday afternoon, I learned that my maternal grandmother passed away. This did not come as a big surprise, as she had been in hospice care since Thanksgiving weekend. Still, death is never easy to deal with and being so far away from my mom and family. Right now is especially difficult. Talking to my son about my grandmother's death was also something that was not easy. Much as I would like to? Is a beautifully illustrated and touching story about an old man and a young girl...

Tuesday, December 2, 2008. We live in Michigan, where the snow flies thick and often. People here scramble to put up their exterior holiday decorations just as soon as the turkey carcass has been discarded. We spent the weekend doing just that. Tree in, lights up, snowflakes secured in the windows. Can you see the Christmas. Spirit and brotherly love here? After all our hard work, we gathered an armload of books and plopped down in front of our cozy fire. One of our selections was Selma. A CHAIR, A FIREP...

Monday, December 15, 2008. Is a young adult author who recently wrote an article in School Library Journal. In September, when his Pre-K teachers asked him what he wanted to learn this year his response was, "how to make books." He makes his own books at home, from comic books to newspapers. He's into pretending right now and reading and drawing are also of high interest. From what Gail says in her article, Wanted: Male Models. A boy doesn't want to be a woman. He wants to do what a man does. A. Personal...
