This first full week of school was mostly dedicated to review sessions. We went over library rules as well as the library policies and procedures. However, students also had the opportunity to listen to some interesting stories about going to school for the first time, how to take care of books, and how important it is to be responsible. Here are three of the stories I shared with some of the visiting classes.
Splat the Cat by Rob Scotton
It's Splat's first day at Cat school and he is so scared and nervous he doesn't want to get out of bed. He tries every excuse to stay home but once he gets to school he quickly finds out all the amazing things cats can do. Much to his surprise he learns that cats chase mice. His best friend is Seymour the mouse and he is hiding in Splat's lunchbox. Doesn't it make you wonder if Splat is going to come back to school tomorrow? Only one way to find out...come visit the library soon!
Mr. Wiggles Book by Paula M. Craig
Oh no! Someone has done some terrible things to Mr. Wiggles books. Someone wrote their name in a book, another person made a hole in the pages of a book, and someone even spilled food on one of his favorite books. No wonder Mr. Wiggle's is crying. What can we do to make Mr. Wiggles happy again? Ready to make a promise? First we need to talk about it.
Beverly Billingsly Borrows a Book by Alexander Stadler
Beverly is finally responsible enough to get her own library card and she chooses her favorite books about dinosaurs in the Cretaceous Period. She is so interested in her book that she doesn't realize it is past the due date. The potential consequences of having an overdue book has Beverly feeling sick and having nightmares with dinosaurs yelling at her. What is the right thing to do? Do you know?
