Mustaches

The first week back to school after the long holiday break we talked about MUSTACHES! What is it about a mustache that changes the way a person looks and sometimes acts?

In the Kindergarten through 2nd grade classes, we read the hilarious Beehive Book nominee, Mustache Baby, by Bridget Heos. We can't wait for the sequel coming out in March . . . Mustache Baby Meets His Match!



In the 3rd through 5th grade classes, we watched a trailer from Tom Angleberger's goofy book, Fake Mustache, or How Jodie O'Rodeo and her wonder horse (and some nerdy kid) saved the U.S. Presidential election from a mad genius criminal mastermind, then read excerpts from it. You will love this over-the-top madcap adventure with a fast-moving plot, suspense to pull you through from start to finish, twists and turns, wacky characters, and dangerous situations the main characters--Lenny and Jodie O'Rodeo--find themselves in at every turn if you haven't read it!

Take a look at Tom Angleberger with his own fake mustache! He's definitely a guy who loves a good joke. You may recognize his name as the author behind the popular Origami Yoda series.

Books to Movies

This week in the Library we talked about books that were turned into movies.  We asked the students what their favorite books are that have been turned into movies.  We discussed how the movies are different from the books.  It is always fun to compare the books and the movies.  Stop by and take a peak at our "Read Box" display that has all the books in our library that have been turned into movies.

For Grades K-2 we read "The Lorax" by Dr. Seuss. The Once-ler describes how and why the Lorax was lifted away.

For Grades 3-5 we read "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" by J.K. Rolling. Rescued from the outrageous neglect of his aunt and uncle, a young boy with a great destiny proves his worth while attending Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
