A new book shipment is here with books spanning interest level and educational purpose for kindergarteners through fifth graders. By the end of the week of class visits when the new books were introduced, over 140 holds for new books were requested by students! Which book was placed on hold more than any other? Disney's Frozen. There were 37 holds on this book alone and more students request this book daily. Of course we want to meet student demand for this book, so we asked teachers to consider purchasing this book for their classrooms and we purchased more copies for the library as well. Parents may want to consider purchasing this book as a reward for excellent grades at school or for a birthday gift. We now have book one in the series, Spirit Animals by Brandon Mull (author of Fablehaven, Candy Shop Wars, & Beyonders).
Other student favorites are the sports books, especially the Olympic athletes. The two most popular sports books are Usain Bolt, a biography about the life of the fastest runner on earth today and Gabby Douglas, an Olympic Champion in gymnastics. Also popular are the new Pete the Cat picture books, origami books, Katie Woo easy chapter book series, Lego Chima, books on real life scary places, such as the Tower of London, Paris Catacombs and Alcatraz. Also popular are the I Survived chapter book series and much more!
