Innovative Librarianship: Book Review: West of the Moon by Margi Preus
http://innovativelibrarianship.blogspot.com/2013/12/book-review-west-of-moon-by-margi-preus.html
Thursday, December 26, 2013. Book Review: West of the Moon by Margi Preus. West of the Moon. My rating: 4 of 5 stars. I received a copy of West of the Moon by Margi Preus from Net Galley in exchange for an honest review. It almost feels like Preus wrote this book just for me. She took several of my favorite topics - folk tales/fairy tales, religious and medical history, and historical fiction - and wove them all together into this one amazing book. View all my reviews.

Monday, January 13, 2014. Augmented Reality in the Library. With augmented reality, I saw an opportunity to inspire upper elementary students to explore our selection of picture books, get creative, and use that creativity to encourage younger students to read. I asked fifth graders to choose one Caldecott book to read in order to participate in this project, but they were allowed to use a non-Caldecott book if they wanted. Book talk written by a student. One particular student had an impact on me. Creat...
