The Library Dragon by Carmen Agra Deedy

The Library Dragon

By Carmen Agra Deedy

Miss Lotta Scales was a real dragon. She guarded the books at Sunrise Elementary School. Maybe a little too well. The kids were not allowed to check out any books and story time was a thing of the past. Soon, no one went to the library until...Molly Brickmeyer. What happened next made the scales drop off Miss Lotta Scales one-by-one until all that was left was Miss Lotty, librarian extraordinaire. 

Seven and a Half Tons of Steel

Seven and a Half Tons of Steel

By Janet Nolan

Illustrated by Thomas Gonzalez

Wow! This is an amazing book about a beam that was taken from the wreckage of  the Twin Towers after they collapsed. This beam was melted down and molded into the bow of the USS New York. Construction of the Navy warship was halted due to Hurricane Katrina, but the workers made a camp at the shipyard and building continued until the USS New York was placed in the water and started it's journey home to New York. From New York, the mighty ship sailed into the Atlantic only to return in 2011 to it's home port for the 10th anniversary of 9/11. 

For those of us who were a part of this American tragedy or who watched helpless on televisions around the world, this book is a reminder of that fateful day, but a solid lesson that there are good, strong things that come out of the even the worst situations. 

Just a forewarning, have tissues handy!

You Belong To Me

You Belong to Me by Mamoru Suzuki
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Hey! My parenting strategy wrapped up in a simple and soothing book about security among family and friends. This is such a sweet book that’s perfect for any bedtime. The pictures are soft and warm and the text is reassuring and perfect for toddlers. Being a cat person, I adore the cover which first caught my attention. This would actually make a GREAT baby shower gift!! You Belong To Me by Mamoru Suzuki should on every babies book shelf.
