Book of the Day

Tonight we are having a Fancy Nancy party at the library. Everyone is going to dress in their fanciest clothes and have fancy snacks and fancy crafts with lots of glitter! There are lots of books for the fancy readers out there.
Jane O'Connor has written three Fancy Nancy picture books which are illustrated by Robin Preiss Glasser. These are Fancy Nancy, Fancy Nancy and the Posh Puppy and Fancy Nancy, Bonjour Butterfly. These books have hardly stayed on the shelf. We added two Fancy Nancy beginning readers: Fancy Nancy and the Boy from Paris and Fancy Nancy at the Museum. On a book shopping expedition last week, we were able to get the latest book Fancy Nancy's Favorite Fancy Words. From A to Z, she has a fancy word for every letter.
If you like other fancy books, check out Pinkalicious and Purplicious by Victoria and Elizabeth Kann. These are also great favorites among our fancy crowd.
Another new book on the shelf is Sassafras Goes to Hollywood by Lynn Hirshfield. Princess Sassafras is not an ordinary poodle. She is a Royal Bedrosian Long-Necked Spotted Poodle and she finally has her chance to go to Hollywood. Will she make it or will her ego get in the way? It's a fun adventure and a great story.

Book of the Day

The Pigeon Wants a Puppy! by Mo Willems arrived today. It is every bit as funny as the previous pigeon books. The Pigeon talks to the reader about why he really, really wants a puppy. Does he? The simple illustrations are expressive. As always, you feel everything that Pigeon feels. This is a wonderful continuation of the Pigeon series.

Book of the Day

If you enjoyed Punk Farm by Jarrett J. Krosoczka, you will have to read Punk Farm On Tour. The first book showed our punk rock barn band holding a local concerts without Farmer Joe finding out. The rendition of "Old McDonald Had a Farm" is hilarious. The second book has the animals going on tour across the country while Farmer Joe heads to the National Tractor Society Conference in Reno. As they roll in the Rock Van, they perform their unique rendition of "Wheels on the Van". Will they get back to the farm before Farmer Joe? The illustrations are clever and the text is engaging. These are a must read for all the little rock & roll barn band fans out there.
