Westland Elementary

Cover image       Would I Every Lie to You 
                           by Caralyn Buehner
 
This is a fun book about a boy who has a cousin who is always telling outlandish stories.  Not all of his stories are false, so it's hard to know which stories to believe.  So when Ed tells him that his dessert is full of poison, it's an opportunity to turn the tables on the big bully.  The children loved this story and its wonderful illustrations. 
 
 
 Goldie Socks and the Three
                       Libearians by Jackie Mims Hopkins
 
This is a clever twist on an old favorite.  Goldie Socks is late for school and takes a short cut that leads her to the home of the three Libearians.  While looking for a just right book, Goldie Socks leaves books on the floor and every which way on the shelves.  This gave us the opportunity to review library etiquette and the five finger rule for finding a book that is just right.
