BBAW may come and go, but Library day is still every Wednesday! One complaint: at storytime, they used to have this really cute sock puppet named Tigger who would “taste” the kids fingers and tell them what flavor they are at the end of every story time. This year, though, no Tigger due to swine flu. My reaction? HUH?! Really?! I know they’re just trying to be safe, but… huh. Stupid. IMHO.
Anyway. On to the loot (which was small again, this week. I’ve not been doing well on picking books for M lately…):
For A/K:
The Dunderheads, by Paul Fleischman/Illus. by David Roberts
Sputter, Sputter, Sput!, by Babs Bell/Illus. by Bob Staake**
Boo-Hoo Moo, by Marge Palatini/Illus. by Keith Graves
Billy Twitters and His Blue Whale Problem, by Mac Barnett/Illus. by Adam Rex**
For C:
The Story of Tracy Beaker, by Jacqueline Wilson
Agnes Parker . . . Girl in Progress, by Kathleen O’Dell
Agnes Parker, Happy Camper, Kathleen O’Dell
For M:
The Summer I Turned Pretty, by Jenny Han*
Hoot, by CArl Hiaasen
Dance of the Assassins (The Devil’s Dances Trilogy), by Herve Jubert
Whalesinger, by Welwyn Wilton Katz
For me:
I’ve almost caught up! YAY! (Which means I can start putting books on hold again, right?) I do want to read The Summer I Turned Pretty, though.
The roundup is either at Reading Adventures or A Striped Armchair.
*Ones that M eventually read.
**Picture books we really liked.
I bet they're worried someone will try to sue them if a kid gets swine flu!!! That's still weird though.

What a shame about the library not using the hand puppet any more!
Hope you enjoy your reads!

I am sure someone somewhere told them that the finger puppet had to go which is a shame, especially when the kids would have loved that!
Fun haul.
