Last Friday morning when I arrived at school, I was so excited to find Seuss, our library elf, sitting on the bookcase in my office. Seuss has been a welcome sight in our library, returning each year around this time. Some of the students spotted Seuss, sitting with a couple of Dr. Seuss' characters, and were so excited. In years past, Seuss has gotten into some mischief in the library, but it seems this year he has decided to recommend some of his favorite Christmas books. This morning when I got to school, I found him with the book Bear Stays Up for Christmas by Karma Wilson. I just love the Bear series. From his loose tooth to his new friend, he never fails to entertain. I guess Seuss must like the Bear stories, as well. I wonder if he will have another recommendation tomorrow? |
so lovely and white,
Bear's friends awake
to a glorious sight.
Presents and goodies
are piled up tall.
"I stayed up," says Bear,
"just to share with you all."
