Time for another Bluegrass nominated title!

This week it is BONES by Steve Jenkins. This awesome book is a guide to human and animal skeletons. We are loving the cool facts about human and animal skeletons, not to mention the awesome illustrations by Mr. Jenkins.

Bluegrass Books Feature

Mrs. Davis' Fourth grade class has been reading The Magician's Elephant by Kate DiCamillo. TWO of her books are on the KBA list this year.

We are loving this story...it's quite different from any of our previous read alouds and we are loving the magical quality of this lovely story!

Here's the book trailer for The Magician's Elephant, a 3-5 nominee.


Another book we are really enjoying is Bridget's Beret, the story of what happens to an artist when she loses her inspiration...the artists beret that she always wears when creating art. If you haven't read this book yet, come grab a copy at the LMC!
