About the Book

Creepy Crayon is an entertaining book to share with students.

 In Creepy Crayon!, Jasper Rabbit is having a hard time at school. The night before his test, he stays up late watching Tales From the Carrot Patch instead of studying. But when Jasper uses his new crayon, everything that was once hard now seems easy! It isn’t long before the crayon starts appearing out of nowhere and leaving him messages that creep him out. Jasper decides it’s time to get rid of the crayon once and for all….but is the crayon ready to let Jasper go?

🤪 APRIL FOOLS’ DAY: Yay 👍🏻 or Nay👎🏻? When you thi 🤪 APRIL FOOLS’ DAY: Yay 👍🏻 or Nay👎🏻?

When you think of April Fools’ Day, what comes to mind? Hand buzzers? Frozen cereal? Brown Es (brownies)? 

Kids love opportunities to feel silly and some grown-ups do, too. Whether you love or loathe this holiday, there are some great April Fools’ Day books for kids.

The Case of Old MacDonald and His Farm by Mark Teague is a new release that is perfect for the upcoming holiday! 

Something mysterious (and slightly silly) is up at Old MacDonald’s farm. Thank goodness Officer Busby is on the case! 

🔎 Who painted faces on the cabbages?
🔎 Why is pizza being delivered to the goats? 
🔎 How did the cows get mustaches?

Officer Busby suspects Skunk and his crew, who she has been tracking all over the county. They are worse than dangerous - they’re silly! And the most important clue might just be what day it is…April Fools’ Day! 🗓️

Do you have a favorite April Fools’ Day book to read?

Thank you to @simonkids for sharing this book with my family! #SimonKidsCrew

My favorite library find this week takes us on a j My favorite library find this week takes us on a journey to see the hidden gems that lie in the tiny worlds most of us are too busy to notice.

When a young boy visits his grandmother’s house, he doesn’t just see scraps of ribbon lying around, mushrooms clustered under a log in the forest, or shells hiding along the beach. He sees tiny worlds where pie tins become playgrounds, ants become farmers, and tide pools teem with life waiting to be explored. 

These tiny worlds are full of whimsy and imagination, but they have one problem: He seems to be the only one who sees them. While at first Grandma keeps trying to draw him out to a busy park or the beach or the zoo, eventually she realizes that her grandson’s tiny worlds are big enough for her to meet him there. 

This book uses beautifully detailed illustrations to share a message about stopping to appreciate the small things, the importance of connection, and accepting others for who they are. It would be a great book to share with any child whose imagination comes to life no matter where they go!

My favorite library find this week takes an up clo My favorite library find this week takes an up close look at the epic journey of a Pacific salmon.

If you live in the PNW, the 4th grade students probably study the salmon life cycle at some point during the year. If they’re lucky, they even get to help care for some of the eggs for months at their school before releasing the salmon fry into a local creek. I know I got to do this when I taught 4th grade, and my own kids did, too!

This book combines beautiful illustrations with inviting & informative text that captures each unique stage of the Coho salmon. The back matter provides additional information about the life cycle stages. It would be a fantastic addition to your salmon or life cycles unit!

💛 LIBRARY STACK 💛 Thought I’d stop and take a mom 💛 LIBRARY STACK 💛

Thought I’d stop and take a moment to admire my current checkouts from the local library, especially since I was recently reminded that February is National Library Lovers’ Month. 

Do I often get strange looks and questions when another patron sees me with a large stack of picture books at the self-checkout desk? Yes, but that hasn’t stopped me! 

Which titles from this stack would you reach for first?
