JUNE BOOK CHOICE 2016!!

For Younger ages or just a fun read!

Have you ever met a Grumpasaurus? I bet you have. In fact, you may even have one in your own home. Want to know what makes them tick? This handy guide, meticulously researched and lovingly illustrated, tells you everything you need to know. Above all they should be handled with care—otherwise they can become VERY loud and VERY fearsome. In this appealingly modern and clever picture book, a field guide format is applied to the study of the cranky child . . . er, rather, the GRUMPASAURUS . . . who, in spite of himself, will win your heart.

Field Guide to the Grumpasaurus



For Older ages  9-12!

The It Girl, by Katy Birchall
In Katy Birchall’s debut novel, super-shy 12-year-old Anna Huntley thinks she’s a total dork. She’s happiest hanging out at her home in London with her Labrador named Dog, recreating famous film scenes like the lift from The Lion King during that “Circle of Life” song. But her journalist dad just got engaged to a famous actress, unexpectedly thrusting Anna into the spotlight as Britain’s new It Girl. After some funny blunders and truly absurd moments, Anna learns the importance of staying true to herself in this hilarious and endearing book.

Read this month and stay tuned for activities to accompany the books!
