Fork Shoals Library Ledger
News for the week of September 3rd
Did you read this summer?
Students who read 500 pages or more will be invited to a summer reading party, and the top readers in each grade will receive a fabulous prize! (More details about the summer reading party will be provided later.)
Book of the Week: Pete the Cat: Rocking in My School Shoes
Pete the Cat: Rocking in My School Shoes, written by Eric Litwin and illustrated by James Dean, is nominated for the 2013-2014 South Carolina Picture Book Award.
I can see Rocking in My School Shoes being hugely popular as a beginning-of-the-school-year read aloud. Luckily, there’s also an amazing website (http://www.harpercollinschildrens.com…) that goes along with all of the Pete the Catbooks, so those of us with less-than-great singing voices don’t have to do the singing ourselves!
It’s easy to see why so many of my students like all of the Pete the Cat books. (I can’t keep them on the shelves!) Pete is kind of a cool cat, the stories are predictable, rhythmic, and easy to read, and they are full of colorful illustrations.
