Elephants Cannot Dance


I am such a fan of Mo Willems. There is so much fun inside all of his books! He says that his books are not just for reading, but for playing. He really created a playground in his book, Elephants Cannot Dance! Some of the second graders read the book for the Pre-K. I don't know who had more fun! Be sure to check the Early Reader shelf for the Elephant and Piggie books. Play them with your child!

The Adventures of Max and Pinky

Max and Pinky have arrived on our shelves. You can get to know these loveable characters in The Adventures of Max and Pinky: Best Budsand The Adventures of Max and Pinky: Superheroesby Maxwell Eaton III.

Fox and His Friends


Edward Marshall and James Marshall's Fox series is a perfect fit for many first graders. These early readers are really clever and fun to read. I think that they'll be flying off the shelf!

Just Grace


What a fantastic book for second grade girls! Grace's dad told her that she has a superhero power called "empathy." This funny book is about how she uses that power to understand how other people feel and to help them feel better. I can't wait to read more about Grace. We have two new books about her in our library. If you have read any of the Just Grace series, please leave a comment here.
