Thank you Kathy B for giving me this book to read on Friday. I started reading it yesterday and could not put it down. Absolutely loved it! I look forward to seeing you on the 27th. I also can't wait to talk about it with you and the other Literary Ladies. For me it was an interesting take on becoming a mother later in life. This was a book I read for the Literary Ladies Book Club.

I just got this book at the Springvale Library book sale. It is a great story about a girl and her grandpa. Her grandpa motivates her to read and you'll have to see if she sticks with it or not.

I am a big fan of this series. This is the newest one and adds humor to Kitty and baby and little puppy. Do you think they would enjoy going to school? You will have to read to find out.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Interesting outlook on how a child deals with the loss of a parent due to the September 2001. Once I started reading it I could not stop until I got to the end. I would encourage parents to read this book before recommending it to younger readers.

Great resource for my teacher friends. It has a little of everything when you are thinking about planning effective literacy instruction for students. Sarah Tantillo also has a website that you can go on for further ideas. I am really enjoying this text and want to stress that it is something that you can go back to over and over for lesson or unit ideas.
I hope everyone has a great reading and writing week. It is supposed to be another hot week in Maine.
Sincerely,
Diana Pettis
