We have received some new books in the Library recently that people may be interested in. One of them is 'Resist' by Sarah Crossan, which is the conclusion to the story started in 'Breathe'. These are based on a future and dsytopian world, where all the trees have died out - or been chopped down - and what little oxygen is available is inside a dome, where you follow the rules or are put outside the dome to take your chance. There are also a couple of new Choose Your Own adventures: 'The Jungle of Doom' and the 'Desert of Dread' along with 'Vampire Hunter', so you have a choice of adventure or horror in this area. As well, we have a couple of Interactive stories, which are basically the same style of book, but are about real life happenings. We have one about the making of Facebook and another about Hurricane Katrina.
There are also some Shakespeare plays, but in Graphic Novel format which is a different way of reading these classics.
I would also like to share with you all that November is Picture Book Month. Personally speaking, I am a HUGE fan of Picture Books and there are many reasons to read them or to use them in your classes. If a picture is worth a thousand words, what does that say about the power of a picture book? And the world needs picture books. There’s nothing like turning the pages of a beautiful picture book. They are not all Fiction either and are often a great way to share with kids - and their parents - little known facts. (See the post a couple of weeks ago about the 'Lone Pine' picture book)
