Library Day

by Derek Munson
Illustrated by Tara Calahan King

This book was picked up randomly by the little one and has been read quite a few times. It's the perfect summer until Jeremy Ross moves in down the street and becomes the main character's best enemy. Dad has a plan to make enemy pie, sounds good until our hero learns to make enemy pie work, he has to spend the day with his enemy Jeremy. Things don't turn out the way the main character thinks they will.

My girls loved it. The oldest two learned a lesson about judging others and making friends, and the little one thinks enemy pie is funny and now just wants to have pie, which you've got to admit, isn't a bad idea. :)

Library Day



Song For a Princess 
by Rachel Mortimer


 Such a cute story. The very first page starts with a little bird who loves words. I can already identify with the little bird, I love words too. The Princess and her friend love words, what smart girls. :) The art work by Maddy McClellan is beautiful, in fact if it were sold as prints I would gladly buy some to put in the girls' rooms. Even the littlest one sat through the whole story.  We've read it a dozen times and I'm not sick of it yet. A sign it's parent friendly. This is a book I see my children cherishing for years to come.
