Happy Friday Everyone!

How is everyone today?  Are you ready for the weekend?  Did you stock up on some good reading material for the weekend? It is going to snow here this weekend so I have books lined up to read.

As it is going to snow here I thought of this cute book about snow for the children.  I hope you will share it with a child this weekend especially if you are having snow where you are in the world.

I hope everyone has a great weekend.

Enjoy a good book with some hot chocolate and a child this weekend.

Grandmother Winter

by

Phyllis Root

Grandmother Winter spends all spring, summer, and fall taking care of her geese and gathering their feathers.  Why does she do this?

 She does this to bring the snow in winter. Of course, the snowfall is as soft as feathers and bright as a winter moon. Grandmother Winter makes a big quilt out of the goose feathers and when winter comes she shakes her big feather quilt and the snow falls softly down on all the earth. What does Grandmother Winter and the geese do after that?

Please read this great book to a child and it has wonderful pictures too.

Hello Everyone!

Did everyone have a good Christmas?  I sure hope so.  I hope each of you will have a blessed New Year!  I know the children have been enjoying Christmas Vacation but I know here where I am school starts back up on January 6.  So time is about to run out for vacation.  I hope everyone is ready to go back to work and to school.  Did anyone read any good books over vacation?  I sure hope so. :)

It is time to get the children back to reading a good book everyday plus their reading at school.  So I hope to start posting some good books for the children to check out and to start new adventures in this new year.

I would like to recommend a series of books for girls (5th grade on up) especially if they love horses .  The books are really good and there is a whole series of them by Lauren Brooke.

The series is called Heartland.  You may have heard that there is a great Canadian TV series called Heartland that is on every week.  It is a great show and I love it.  The series is based on the Heartland books.

So I would recommend trying both.  The library should have the books and the TV series on DVD.  I have watched them.

So please check out Heartland at your neighborhood library.

See you next time and please read to a child or with a child today.
