Chomp-O-Rama by Maria Birmingham and illustrated by Kyle Reed @mkbirmingham @cutdrawglue

I LOVE non-fiction books like this: packed with science facts, and told in an interesting, simple, fun to read, colourful way!

This book showcases the different ways that humans eat or find food- and then compares/contrasts it to specific animals in nature. 🦦

I found the facts to be unique and informative, and I learned some new things. Who knew the pygmy shrew needed to eat SO often, or that a crocodile will gobble up rocks!? 🐊

I know my nature/animal loving students will love this one, and it will make a great addition to our non-fiction section of the library.

Synopsis: “A fun, fact-filled look at both the relatable and the surprising ways animals gobble up grub. Crunch… munch… slurp… CHOMP! The animals of Chomp-O-Rama are hungry, and each creature has its own way of eating. Some dine in ways similar to humans. And others definitely do not. This playful nonfiction book offers creative comparisons between the way humans eat and the mealtime habits of a dozen other creatures. While humans slurp up soup, butterflies use the straw-like part on the front of their head to sip sweet liquids. While we use a knife to cut food, a sea otter cracks open its meal with a stone. While we take bites of our food, a snake swallows its meal whole!”

A turn of the page after each human behavior means that each comparison is a surprising reveal, creating an engaging read-aloud experience. Vibrant digital art brings color and humor to the fascinating facts in this inventive and relatable introduction to animal behavior.”

Thank you to @owlkidspublishing for gifting us this book!

Let’s read together ❤️

Let’s read together ❤️

HOCKEY crazy around here!

Our students are big hockey fans, and with the big game tonight, these displays have been extra popular!

A little friendly “Pom Pom” vote has been fun too, and sparked some great conversations. I’m sure impressed with their knowledge about all the players 🏒

Looking forward to an exciting game!

Will you be watching the 4 Nations Face-Off final tonight?

Patty Dreams by Nadia L.Hohn and illustrated by Sahle Robinson
@nadialhohn_author @sahlgood

I absolutely adored this story, and immediately knew I wanted to read it aloud to my students during our library classes. And what a perfect time to read it- in February, during Black History Month and right ahead of “Jamaican Patty Day” on Feb 23 (which we learn more about at the end of this book). ❤️ K-3 classes were SO engaged while listening, and made SO many personal connections to this story!!!!

I loved reading about this family, their experience in Jamaica, how to make delicious patties, and then their story of coming to Canada. Their resilience is a reminder of the experiences of many immigrants, and I loved how they were able to share their culture and food with their new community.

Such a beautiful story, colourful and wonderful illustrations, and a heartwarming story.

My only complaint? I was SO hungry for a patty after reading this one!

Synopsis: At his home in Jamaica, August wakes up every morning to the delicious smell of patties. His parents’ patty stand used to be popular, but Jamaica is changing. August’s friends are leaving, and the patties aren’t selling like they used to. Soon, it’s his family’s turn to say goodbye. Off they fly to cold, snowy Toronto, where August’s father takes a job at a cookie factory and comes home too tired to make his beloved patties.

One night, after everyone is asleep, August tiptoes into the kitchen and tries to recreate his Daddy’s recipe. His attempt inspires his father, and for the first time since they left Jamaica, August wakes up to the smell of fresh patties. Daddy’s patties take off, and soon August’s parents decide to open a new patty stand with a new name.

Thank you SO much to @owlkidspublishing for the opportunity to read & review this delightful book!

Our cats have new hats! 🎩

Thanks so much to our grade 2 teacher for coming up with this creative activity! It was open to K-7 students, and we were just WOWED by the participation and creativity ❤️

“Drawing the Story” was such an amazing theme for the Reading Extravaganza this week, and we loved seeing the artistic talents of our students 🎨

THANK YOU to author Lauren Maclean for the amazing visit today!

Check out her reel about her time with us- and her tips for authors thinking about doing school visits!

@localbookshelf
Author visits can be intimidating at first!
We can get bogged down with the all the “What if” questions... what if the students get bored? What if they don’t like my book? What if they don’t have any questions? What if I speak for too long and they start to get all squirmy at the carpet? What if they don’t like the activities I have planned for after the read aloud?
Today I had the pleasure of sharing my story with a group of grade 1 and 2 students and it was AMAZING! I shared the back story of why and how I wrote Me and My Sit Spot. I spoke about having ADHD and why I believe it’s my superpower gift. I brought them outside on a beautiful snowy day to share my love of the outdoors and how we can weave together literacy with nature by asking “where do stories live?”
Author visits have quickly become one of my favourite things to do! It is a wonderful mix of nerves, excitement, and pure adrenaline!
Do you have any tips for how to make your author visits a hit?! Please share them with us!

WOW WOW WOW!
Thank you Lauren! 🌲❄️

As part of our Reading Extravaganza week, author Lauren Maclean came to speak with our grade 1 and grade 2 classes!

She is an educator and author from Port Moody, and read from her book “Me and My Sit Spot.” She taught our students all about the process of writing & creating a children’s book, and showed the storyboard of how she worked alongside her illustrator.

She gifted our library her wonderful books, including her newest, “Finding Common Ground.” She then took our students outside, where they learned about animal tracks (there were bird tracks everywhere in the snow!!!), created snow treasures, and learned about the calming beauty of being in nature.

Thank you Lauren for blessing us with your visit today!

Sharing is Caring, Dragon by @biancaschulzewriter

I absolutely loved Sharing is Caring, Dragon! ❤️ It’s such a fun, interactive read that keeps you engaged from start to finish. The story is all about sharing a favorite book, which is something I can totally relate to—I’m a sucker for books about books! 📚

The charming illustrations and the sweet message about generosity and friendship really hit home. Plus, it’s perfect for sparking conversations with little ones about the joys of sharing. Highly recommend this one for both its heartwarming story and its interactive elements! 🐉

Synopsis: “Dragon is on her way to the library to return her borrowed books and check out her favorite book. But when she gets to the bookshelf, she realizes the book she wants isn’t there! Sir Fiero has checked it out and is starting to read it when Dragon grabs it from his hands. Will Dragon learn to be patient and wait her turn to read the book?”

I’ve got a free activity on my TPT to go along with this one- so be sure to check it out! (Link in bio)

Thank you to @thechildrensbookreview for gifting this beautiful book to our library, in exchange for an honest review ❤️📚

Some of our students checking out the winning entries from our graphic novel contest!

There were some really great comics, many featured the topics of Minecraft, hockey, super heroes, video games, animals, winning money, or teachers!

This was a simple activity to set up: some graphic novel templates, a short instruction poster, and pencils! (Available free on my TPT)

“One-Osaurus, Two-Osaurus” by Kim Norman and illustrated by Pierre Collett-Derby @authorkimnorman

Super colourful, super cute, and super FUN!

I loved following along with these colourful dinosaurs as they count to ten! The big numbers and bright, simple dinosaurs really bring energy to the pages. The ROAR and a “big” thing coming, adds that sense of adventure and an element of fear... but don’t worry! The T-Rex isn’t a big, bad, mean dinosaur.... (read to find out!)

Well done :)
My dino-loving students will really be excited to CHECK this one out of our library!!

Happy Reading, friends 🦖

Thank you to @candlewickpress for sending us this DINOMIGHTY fun book!

Two New Years ❤️
This was one of our favourite read-alouds last year: for its message, and for the discussions & conversations it inspired!

Highly recommend getting this book, especially during these special holidays: Lunar New Year and Rosh Hashana.

These were the activities we did alongside this book in library classes, with different writing & drawing pages perfect for all ages.

I love these “Ultimate Snapshot Library” book reports the grade sevens do!! Way to go @stokes_mum 👏🏼

They use Google Slides, and have a few key things they need to include. Then- they use their creativity and imagination to create some really unique designs!

Love them 📖📸
