Two for one!


Miss Brooks Loves Books (And I Don’t) c) 2010 by Barbara Bottner; illustrated by Michael Emberley
Miss Brooks, the school librarian is really into books and promoting them. She loves costumes and puppets and reading. The little girl telling the story is just the opposite. When Book Week comes along in May, the little girl is given the assignment of choosing a book to “bring to life”. After several fails, and her mom calling her a “wart”, she finds the perfect fit for her. She shares the book Shrek! c) 1990 by William Steig with her class. I loved using this (MBLBAID) for outreach this week because children recognize Shrek from the delightful movie franchise. Yes, people, it all started with a book! This book captured the heart of someone along the line who had huge dreams for it! But back to MBLBAID. This book shows that everyone had a “right book” for them. Sometimes it takes patience to get to a match.
