First Library Visit for Emma! Gordon-Nash Library we love you!


Emma visited her first friendly library*. We got two books for easy reading, one book for many cozy nights of reading and two books for Daddy.

*We tried the Plymouth library first but the policies and librarian were not friendly. We found instead the FABULOUS Gordon-Nash library. It has the extra bonus of a nice lawn out front to enjoy the new books in. The librarians were friendly and very helpful.

A Foot in the Mouth is on the right in photo. The poems are really fun to read and the illustrations are eye catching. I am seriously considering buying this book, even though it has no sled dogs in it.
Alex and Lulu is on the left. The story is subtle, sweet and perfect. The illustrations are pretty adorable. This book has a nice message and is well written. I loved it, I think this one is going on our wish list too.

Emma's Book Reviews

Emma has been reading recently:

Wiggle Waggle Woof, Counting Sled Dogs in Alaska.
Emma loves this book for the fun and exciting cadence. She also loves the silly pictures.

Big-Enough Anna
Anna is Emma's heroine, and Emma loves the drama of this true story. The drawings of Anna are beautiful.

Running with the Big Dogs - A Sled Dog Puppy Grows Up in Denali National Park
Emma enjoys this book and the pictures but wish it rhymed more or less.

Bird Dogs Can't Fly
Emma loves this story of friendship. She loves how big and warm hearted the character Blue is.
