It's here! I can't wait to get a copy of Pete the Cat and His Four Groovy Buttons! I am a huge fan of Eric Litwin's Pete the Cat series. These books just bring pure joy to anyone who reads them and hears and sees the book trailer. Check out the super fun book trailer! I can't wait to share this book with my friends at school:)

The week of May 14 - 17 will be McGowen's first book swap. Here's how it will work:
Starting Monday, May 14th students and teachers may bring in up to five (5) books in gently used condition (no rips, tears, bent edges, missing pages, or messy books) to the library to use in the swap. For each book brought in, one ticket will be issued; tickets will be exchanged for books on Thursday May 17th! Only 5 tickets will be given. If you choose to bring in more than 5 books (no more than 10 total), the extra books will be considered a donation to students at McGowen who are not able to bring books to swap.

Book Review: Boy + Bot
Illustrator: Dan Yaccarino
Publisher: Knopf (Released April 10, 2012)
Source: Personal Copy
Audience: Ages 3 to 7
Fiction * Friendship * Imagination
Description from publisher's page:
One day, a boy and a robot meet in the woods. They play. They have fun. But when Bot gets switched off, Boy thinks he's sick. The usual remedies—applesauce, reading a story—don't help, so Boy tucks the sick Bot in, then falls asleep. Bot is worried when he powers on and finds his friend powered off. He takes Boy home with him and tries all his remedies: oil, reading an instruction manual. Nothing revives the malfunctioning Boy! Can the Inventor help fix him? Using the perfect blend of sweetness and humor, this story of an adorable duo will win the hearts of the very youngest readers.
