Come and check out these and some of the other new books and materials (or at least new to us) for younger and juvenile readers added to our library collection…
EASY READING:
When Elephants Goes To A Party by Sonia Levitin and illustrated by Jeff Seaver
Me… Jane by Patrick McDonnell
A wonderful picture book about the life of young Jane Goodall, and has been rightfully so called wonderful for the young, and the young at heart. The images are soft, and very charming, and the story is very inspiring. The book won the 2012 Charlotte Zolotow award. Here’s a really nice review from a blog appropriately called Great Kids Books.
