Busy, Busy, Busy!

It's been more than a week since I've actually posted an entry to The Nursery Librarian.  I'm sorry if you've been hoping to find another good book or tips to help your favorite little one become a true reader - I've just been busy!

We celebrated Easter with family and lots of simple activities in our household.  Our favorite activity was dying eggs, a tradition for our family.  I have to express my excitement over the memory game that PAAS included in the dye box.  We cut it apart and played.  The pieces are in a sandwich baggie in the kitchen drawer to be used on a whim.  Did anyone else discover that great little game too?  Remember, playing memory has lots of advantages.

During the last week, I started two drafts for future posts here on the site.  One is a book review for a book called Pluto's Secret.  An excellent book that helps explain how Pluto became a dwarf planet.  Look for that post sometime in the next few days.

If you need book suggestions for your third through eighth grade child, you'll be pleased to know that I'll be featuring a different book for this age range on Wednesdays.  Books written for this audience, usually called middle grade books, are some of my absolute favorites.  I enjoy reading them and suggesting them to kids in the library.  Look for the first "Middle Grade Marvel" review this upcoming Wednesday.

I've also been reviewing some webinars in order to renew my librarian certificate.  Two of the webinars have brought some great books to my attention, and needless to say, there are 99 items checked out on my library card right now!  I can't wait to go through the piles and find some real gems to use in story times or with my own kids.  Don't worry...I'll tell you all about them too!

Well, it feels good to get another post done for The Nursery Librarian!  Stop back soon for more BOOK FUN!  In the meantime, keep reading to your little one, and ENJOY!
