It’s Thanksgiving week here, and I’m looking forward to lots of rest and reading. Stay tuned for FRIDAY this week when I post my annual gift giving ideas for all ages – The Holiday Hint List. You can go HERE to see the list for the last two years.
Here are some books out this week – it’s a small week:
His Royal Dogness, Guy the Beagle: The Rebarkable True Story of Meghan Markle’s Rescue Dog (Picture Book) – I already have this one on hold through the library!
I Do Not Like Books Anymore! (Picture Book) – A little monster learning to read struggles to keep her love of books. I am looking forward to seeing this one in person!
Scarlett (Picture Book) – No one thinks Scarlett the sloth can solve a mystery in the forest, and while she would like to prove them wrong, she’s afraid they might be right.
Sophie Johnson, Unicorn Expert (Picture Book) – A girl is so busy teaching everyone around her about unicorns, she misses the magic right near by. This looks darling! I have to check this one out.
Snow Place Like Home – Book 17 in the fun Galaxy Zack series. Zack and his family head to a new planet for winter fun.
The Once and Future Geek – (Middle Grade) – A young Arthur of Camelot time travels to the 21st century and Googles himself. Seeing the unfortunate turns his future will take, he decides to stay right here. I will be reviewing this one in a few weeks.
Big Damn Hero (Adult) – An original novel from the Firefly Universe! Captain Malcolm Reynolds is kidnapped and put on trial for his life while his crew tries to track him down.
Game Changer! Book Access for All Kids (Professional Development for Teachers – Paperback) – Donalyn Miller (The Book Whisperer) and Colby Sharp (The Creativity Project) are big names in education circles, especially when it comes to kids and reading. Their new collaboration focuses on tools and resources for teachers and administrators to launch reading/book initiatives in their schools and communities. I might not be teaching these days, but this one is still on my Christmas list!
