Description
It's never to early to think about gift giving for the holidays. Jerri and Danielle offer a few suggestions on some great gifts, books!
A
Hi,
welcome
to
well
read
a
program
about
a
little
bit
of
this
and
a
little
bit
of
that
at
your
aims:
public
library,
I'm
gerry
hide
you
services,
manager
at
that
library,
and
I'm
here
today
to
talk
about
books,
books,
books.
Sometimes
we
talk
about
books.
Sometimes
we
talk
about
the
programs
that
we
have
but
either
way
that's
what
libraries
are
all
about.
B
A
A
B
B
I
would
start
with
this:
one
called
booked
booked,
yeah
it's
by
kwame,
Alexander
and
Kwame
is
actually
a
poet
and
his
last
book
won
the
newbery,
and
this
one
is
really
good
as
well.
It's
sports
themed,
but
one
thing
I
have
noticed
over
the
years-
is
that
there
are
sports
books
and
there
are
sports
photos.
So,
yes,
soccer
is
a
huge
part
of
this
book.
But
that's
not
all.
There
is
it's
about
friendships.
It's
about
growing
up!
B
B
B
A
And
working
with
verse,
but
it
it
is
kind
of
good.
You
know
really
good
for
that
struggling
reader
too,
because
there
is
that
white
space
and
it
kind
of
flows
very
fast
yep
in
addition
to
the
topic,
is
always
a
good
motivator
for
reading
to
his
previous
one
was
about
all
about
basketball
in
it,
and
I
know
that
the
verse
had
the
rhythm
of
the
basketball
bouncing
and
stuff.
Now
in
this
one,
does
it
have
the
kicking
you.
B
Know
that
I
am
NOT,
maybe
the
person
to
ask
I
my
kicking.
It
never
follows
a
rhythm
but
yeah
I
bet
you
could
find
something.
I
bet
he's
thought
about
that
and
then
the
other
thing
I
want
people
to
know
is
again
its
inverse,
but
that
doesn't
it
actually
doesn't
rhyme.
So
if
it
does,
but
it's
not
like
it's
not
force
like
dr.
Seuss,
dick
right.
It's
not
like
a
dr.
Seuss
rhyme,
but
it's
really
good.
I
really
suggest
it
boys
girls.
What
age
group
do
you
think?
A
And
I
didn't
really
meet
him,
but
he
was
at
a
conference
that
I
was
at
any
spoke
well.
His
newbery
award
winning
speech
for
the
crossover
and-
and
he
was
quite
the
caring
and
passionate
person
so
and
I
think
I
believe
in
my
opinion,
that
it
comes
out
in
his
writing
as
well.
So
a
good
pick
Jeffrey
go
so.
B
B
Very
so
this
is
six
of
crows
by
Leigh
bardugo
and
if
you're
familiar
with
the
movie
Ocean's
eleven,
the
heist
in
the
group,
the
group
of
all
these
criminals
getting
together
to
make
that
one
big
take.
So
this
is
a
group
of
teenagers
getting
together,
but
not
only
that
it's
magic.
This
is
in
a
land
full
of
magic
and
and
so
there's,
no,
not
really
a
lot
of
great
people
in
this
one.
A
A
B
B
B
B
You
could,
under
the
very
loose
definition,
their
comic
books,
but
even
comic
books.
These
days
have
a
lot
of
some
of
them.
Have
a
lot
of
things,
they're,
exploring
like
issues
and
but
I
would
say:
they're
not
really
comic
books,
because
a
lot
of
times
they
don't
have
the
superheroes.
They
don't
have.
They
tell
more
of
the
intense
stories
that
the
true
stories
again.
A
So
sometimes
our
people
think
that
comic
books
are
just
for
fun
and
just
little
kitty
shin
and
where
they're
really
not
yeah,
because
they
they
challenged
our
readers
as
well
with
those
rare
words
and
exposes
them
to
to
that
type
of
thing.
But
in
this
one
this
is
a
found
this
to
be
a
really
great
book.
I
read.
B
B
And
everyone
around
them
and
this
one
actually
is
really
cool
because
it
talks
about
roller
derby.
So,
as
you
can
see
on
the
cover
there,
she's
got
her
roller
skates
on
in
her
helmet
and
she
is
ready.
She
is
ready
to
go
and
to
learn
something,
and
roller
derby
is
really
making
a
little
bit
of
a
comeback
here.
I
know:
Ames
has
a
team
and
yeah
and.
A
A
B
B
So
it's
actually
a
play
so
in
it
take
the
main
character.
I
actually
haven't,
read
it
yet,
but
from
what
I've
heard,
the
main
character
is
not
Harry,
it
is
his
son.
So
it's
taking
place
a
few
years
in
the
future
and
it's
a
play
and
from
what
I've
heard
it's
a
very
enjoyable
story.
I've
talked
with
several
librarians
who've,
read
it
and
really
I've.
B
A
Rowling,
novel
fans
or
harry
potter
fans
be
prepared
that
you
have
to
use
your
brain
in
your
imagination
in
a
whole
different
way
being
a
theater
background
or
person.
When
you
read
a
play,
you
have
to
kind
of
picture
all
those
people
running
around
in
their
costumes
and
what
the
set
looks
like
it's
not
all
given
to
you
in
the
description
or
in
the
paragraph
form
you
have
to
kind
of
fill
in
those
pieces.
So
I've
heard
a
lot
of
talk
about
that
there.
You
know
it's,
it's
not
a
rock
JK
rowling.
A
You
know
take
the
characters
on
and
have
a
little
bit
of
fun
and
with
the
holidays
coming
up,
you
have
lots
of
people
around.
You
could
assign
characters
and
have
a
great
great
family
gathering.
So
let's
move
to
this
kind
of
head
is
a
transitional
stage
for
both
the
high
school
in
middle
school.
Let's
move
to
our
younger
group
in
the
elementary
and
upper
elementary.
What
kind
of
books
would
you
suggest
for
them?
Well,.
A
B
Yes,
so
this
is
the
dark
is
rising
and
it
is
a
fantasy
book
for
probably
our
4th
5th
6th
graders
in
there,
and
it
is.
This
is
actually
the
second
in
the
series,
but
it's
my
favorite
and
you
don't.
The
the
first
book
doesn't
even
have
any
of
the
carrot.
None
of
the
characters,
one
of
the
characters,
repeats
Wow,
but.
A
B
To
do
the
Lions
of
little
rock
now
this
is
some
historical
fiction,
really
really
good.
It's
about
the
1950s
or
in
excuse
me,
1960s
right
after
you
know,
when
things
were
starting
to
get
really
hot
down
in
the
south,
it's
set
in
Little
Rock
and
it
is
about
a
girl
who
has
selective
mutism.
So
she
only
talks
to
people
who
are
in
her
family
and
but
then
she
meets
a
new
girl
at
school
who
she
somehow
gets
the
courage
to
start
to
talk
to
her,
and
so
they
become
friends.
B
A
We
do
so
a
really
nice
taste
and
that's
what
historical
fiction
does
gives
us
a
nice
taste
of
the
social
issues
plus
a
little
bit
of
history.
Very
well
done
as
far
as
research,
wise
and
in
also
dealing
with
those
middle
school
type
of
issues,
to
a
friendship
and
and
how
you
can
be
true
to
who
you
are
yep.
B
So
that
one's
probably
for
older
kids,
too,
but
I
thought
I
would
pull
out
a
graphic
novel,
another
graphic
naho,
and
this
one
is
hilarious.
It
is
rutabaga
the
adventure
chef.
So
it's
about
this
chef,
this
kid
chef
who
is
traveling
all
around
with
his
magic
cooking
pot
and
picking
up
rare
recipes
and
having
adventures
and
he's
really
good,
and
he
does
have
lots
and
lots
of
adventures.
So
it's
a
good
mix
of
humor
and
adventure
and
just
general
silliness
kind.
B
A
B
Else
do
we
have
I
do
want
to
talk
about
1,
nonfiction
and
then
so.
This
is
the
land
of
stories,
but
it's
a
treasury
of
classic
fairy
tales.
So
right
now
we
have
the
land
of
stories,
it's
a
series
by
Chris
Colfer
of
Glee
and
its
really
well-written,
really
good,
and
it's
about
some
kids
who
go
to
the
land
of
stories
like
the
land
where
fairy
tales
are
super
popular.
B
So
if
you
have
a
kid
who
is
into
those
books
right
now,
you
might
want
to
pick
this
up
because
it
is
a
treasury
of
all
those
great
fairy
tales
and
so
they're,
not
the
Disney
versions
either.
So
some
kids,
maybe
haven't
ever
been
exposed
to
like
hands
Christian
Andersen's
version
of
The
Little
Mermaid,
where
the
little
mermaid
doesn't
get
the
prints
at
the
end.
Sorry
spoilers,
but
so
that's
in
there.
So
it's
just
a
good.
It's
a
really
well
done.
He
wrote
that
rewrote
them
really.
B
A
B
A
B
A
B
B
So
he's
swallowed
by
the
snake,
but
as
you
keep
going
through
the
book
and
this
one
really
great
read
aloud
rhyme,
it's
good
good,
rhythm
and
just
fun
to
read.
He
is
very
clever
and
you
can
just
tell
he
is
trying
to
trick
the
snake.
He
has
a
plan,
but
you
don't
know
what
it
is
and
it's
a
fun
plan
to
read
about
you're
gonna,
like
it
I
read
it
I.
It
was
one
of
my
three-year-olds
favorites
so
far
this
year
and.
A
B
B
B
This
is
brand
new.
It
came
out
on
october
18th,
it's
if
you
give
a
mouse
a
brownie.
Just
put
just
you
know.
If
you've
got
some
fans
of
the,
if
you
give
a
mouse
a
cookie
books,
this
might
be
a
really
fun
one
to
get
for
a
present,
because
it's
always
fun
to
visit
our
old
favorite
characters.
Yeah
laura.
A
A
B
A
A
B
B
A
B
You
and
then
the
other
one
is
my
heart
fills
with
happiness
and
that's
by
Monique
grey
and
illustrated
by
Julie
flat,
and
this
is
just
a
beautiful
book.
But
as
you
go
through
it,
you
realize,
and
the
two
authors
are
from
Canada
in
their
First
Nations
people
and
that's
what
Canadians
call
need
our
Native
Americans
here,
their
first
nations
in
Canada,
and
so
it's
some
good
diversity.
