In honor of Children’s Book Month, K. J. Cooper, our Children’s Specialist, has supplied us with reviews this week. Here are a few of the new children’s books we have in.
Peter and the Secret of Rundoon by Dave Barry & Ridley Pearson:
This much-awaited (our copy was ordered in July) story wraps up their trilogy about Peter Pan. Never Land is immersed in a tribal war and Peter and Molly are in the land of Rundoon fighting to save the planet from the unthinkable. This duo of authors have hit another high note with this tale.
Happy Birthday Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle by Betty MacDonald & Anne MacDonald Canham: Those of us who grew up Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle are delighted that Betty MacDonald’s daughter found her mother’s unpublished works to introduce to another generation of readers to her magic. Cures realized in this volume relate to today’s kids, including “The Messy Stuff and Cram Cure” and “The Insult Cure”.
Mercy Watson, Princess in Disguise by Kate DiCamillo: It’s Halloween and Mrs. Watson is determined that Mercy (their pig/child) will trick-or-treat. Mercy isn’t thrilled with the princess costume, but the promise of treats lures her on. Of course, the Lincoln sisters and their new cat throw a monkey-wrench in the evening. But all’s well that ends well and Mercy ends up happy. This easy-reader series (about second grade level) is sure to keep young readers amused.
Remember we have storytime every Thursday morning at 10:30 for toddlers. Of course we will be closed Thursday the 22nd for Thanksgiving, but drop by any other Thursday to hear fun stories read to our littlest patrons.
