This week I am reading The Fantastic Flying Books of Mr. Morris Lessmore to the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders. This story conveys, through beautiful words and pictures, how books can change your life. The title may be familiar to you as it was originally an award-winning short film released in 2011. You can see the film version on YouTube. If you are particularly inspired you might even want to buy the app available through the iTunes store.

During their library times today, the kindergarteners and first graders had thoughtful conversations about how to take care of their library books. We looked at some pictures and decided which of them were things that could always go with books, which ones could be used with books only if we were very careful, and which ones were never a good idea with books. One first grader pointed out that while we might think that backpacks are always a safe place for books, she once had a book get damaged in her backpack. After hearing that, we realized that it is important to think about what else is in the backpack with the books! Accidents do happen, of course, and if a library book should get damaged, just bring it back to the library and we will discuss whether it can be repaired or replaced. Happy reading! |
