Book of the Week
KNUFFLE BUNNY FREE GIVEAWAY!
KNUFFLE BUNNY FREE Day continues! Travel and adventure are major themes in KNUFFLE BUNNY FREE. In particular, for children, it can be both exciting and nerve-racking to travel to an unfamiliar place; comfort objects and familiar routines can make the transition so much easier. We would love to make traveling as simple as we can [...]
Turning the Page with…Mo Willems!
It’s KNUFFLE BUNNY FREE Day here at the pageturn, celebrating the publication of Mo Willems’ conclusion to a well-loved picture book series.

Banned Books Week
Happy Banned Books Week! I argue it is a cause for celebration, as children’s literature enthusiasts come together to bring attention to those books that provoke, excite, and challenge us.

Lunch with Charles Benoit
I love the word raconteur. It’s derivative from the French verb raconter – to relate, to recount – and it is defined as “a storyteller, especially a person noted for telling stories with skill and wit.” And it is the exact word that comes to mind to describe Charles Benoit, author of the critically acclaimed [...]
International Day of Peace
September 21st is International Day of Peace. This celebration of world peace was established in 1981 by the United Nations as “a global call for ceasefire and non-violence”. Did you do anything in your classrooms or libraries to celebrate? This reminds me, of course, of Alice Walker‘s book WAR IS NEVER A GOOD IDEA with [...]
What Happened on Fox Street
I wouldn’t normally just list reviews as a blog post, but these just speak for themselves.

Love, belief and caring.” ~ Kirkus (starred review) “Springstubb does a [...]
