Thanksgiving is quickly approaching! This week in the midst of final projects and last week before a week off busyness, students and teachers will be given an opportunity to share books they are thankful for. We all have a book or books that are near and dear to our hearts for the memories and lessons they provide. The books I am most thankful for are listed below. Please share books you are thankful for in the comments below! 1. The Little Critter book series by Mercer Mayer My parents always took time to read with me when I was younger, and the Little Critter books were a bedtime favorite. 2. Fish is Fish by Leo Lionni This book teaches the importance of being happy with yourself. I am thankful for books that share such powerful messages with young readers. 3. Ella Enchanted by Gail Carson Levine I LOVE this book! Ella is dealt a difficult hand in life, yet she works hard and overcomes her situation. Ella is a strong, inspiring character for girls to look up to. 4. Harry Potter series by J.K. Rowling I am thankful for books that keep me turning the pages until the very end! 5. Scaredy Squirrel by Melanie Watt I am thankful for funny, silly stories that encourage kids to love reading, and Scaredy Squirrel is my favorite silly book! $1 Book Fair is coming!On December 7, Greenland Elementary will host a book fair from Once Upon a Time Books. The books will all be $1, tax free, and in gently used condition. This book fair will not serve as a fundraiser for the library. This book fair will simply make quality children's literature available and affordable for all. I am searching for volunteers to help run the book fair during school hours the week of December 7-11. If you are able to volunteer during school hours, please contact me through email, the library's Facebook page, or by calling the school.
