Well, I guess Seuss saved the best for last. He and the Grinch got together to share one more of their holiday favorites with us today. I think this has to be my favorite as well. I never missed The Grinch by Dr. Seuss when it came on tv each year when I was growing up. I still love watching it today. I'm not surprised it was one of Seuss' favorites since he got his name from the author. This will be our last day with Seuss. He's headed back to the North Pole to hang out with Santa. I sure hope he shared great things about all the kiddos here at Southwest. Until next year, Seuss! Merry Christmas!
It's not quite the night before Christmas yet, but it appears to be one of Seuss' favorite books for the holiday season. Written by Clement C. Moore, The Night Before Christmas has always been one of my favorites as well. I remember learning every word of it when I was in the fifth grade many, many years ago.
Our library elf, Seuss, is back this morning with another of his favorite Christmas books. It looks like his choice today, The Polar Express by Chris Van Allsburg, is a student favorite as well. Students always go looking for this one at this time of year. I have teachers come to the library looking for it, too! Great choice, Seuss! I wonder what tomorrow's book will be!

Here at the beginning of the school year, we have been reviewing proper book care in our library classes. To go along with this theme, first grade heard a story all about a book that eats people. Can you believe it? A book that eats people? The story reminded students that they should always have clean hands when reading a book and that their library books should not be left alone with little brothers or sisters. Want to know more about this book that eats people? If so, check out the book trailer below.
Each year North Carolina releases a list of books that have been nominated for the North Carolina Children's Book Award. Last year's winner was a book written by Jory John called Quit Calling Me a Monster. Not only did the book win the popular student vote across the state, it was a student favorite here at Southwest as well. Well, this year's nominees have been announced and Jory John is back with another book that I'm sure the students will like. This one is called The Bad Seed. How bad is he you ask? He has a bad temper, a bad attitude, and bad manners. Click on the video below to learn a little more about The Bad Seed.

About me . . .Formerly a classroom teacher. Currently a School Library Media Coordinator. I loved being in the classroom, but now that I am in the library I can't imagine doing anything else! The library is my favorite place to be. From my rocking chair to my ABC rug to the smiling student faces checking out books, the library just can't be beat! Archives
