https://3amoeba.wordpress.com/review-format
A librarian's view of the worlds within Young Adult bookshelves. The time it takes to update in the old format does not work with my current life schedule. I am moving to a simple book review format. Hope it works better for all of us! How I’ve arranged the reviews. Each review follows the same pattern. Book title and author’s name appear first. Place of publication, publisher, date, number of pages are included with the book title and author’s name. An evaluative annotation occurs in the first paragraph.

School Aged Storytime Remix | KidsRead
https://kidsreads.wordpress.com/2015/01/09/school-aged-storytime-remix
School Aged Storytime Remix. January 9, 2015 at 9:12 am. So, the first storytime I did as a librarian was bedtime storytime. Tough work planning for a wide age range that varied week to week. When the chance to create a storytime for school aged kids, I was thrilled! The same age group every time! Why would I be thrilled to take on this group solo the following Spring? This is what the first one looked like. Buehner). I knew this book was a hit when I saw puffs of powdered sugar when the kids snicker...

WW2 backdrop for defining family | KidsRead
https://kidsreads.wordpress.com/2013/07/18/ww2-backdrop-for-defining-family
WW2 backdrop for defining family. July 18, 2013 at 4:09 pm. By Patricia Reilly Giff; Random House Children’s Books, New York, 2013; 147 pages. This heart-touching story of a girl in search of family transcends the setting of the book. World War II lessons of hardship, like rationing, are heavily featured, and present teachable moments about that period in our history. But the real story is of hope, patience, and what ties bind us together through all of life’s hardship and happiness. The Green Glass Sea.

Wonder should be required reading for children AND adults | KidsRead
https://kidsreads.wordpress.com/2012/06/09/wonder-should-be-required-reading-for-children-and-adults
Wonder should be required reading for children AND adults. June 9, 2012 at 1:53 pm. By RJ Palacio; published by Alfred A. Knopf, New York; 2012. I wish that every adult would read it and accept that ALL people should be treated with respect and a sincere (not “shiny” as Auggie described) smile. Perhaps I have a soft spot in my heart for the victims of bullying, but this is a triumph of a novel. I cannot recommend this book enough!
