Did you know?

Did you know that the following books are celebrating anniversaries this year?

75 years – Madeline by Ludwig Bemelmans

 

 

45 years – The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle

 

 

25 years – The Mitten by Jan Brett

 

 

20 years – Good Night, Gorilla by Peggy Rathmann

 

                      Book clubs

As promised, here are a few suggestions for starting a reading/book club:

1.   You will need members of course. Two to six members would be good but ideally four.

 2.  A place to meet. It could be your house, backyard, the park, local community centre or library.

 3.  A book selection. You could decide all the books your going to read in the first meeting, or simply decide at the end of each book.

 4.  A library card. It would be much better if you could borrow the books instead of buying them.
 
5.  A snack would be great also.
 
6.  And finally a love of reading.

 

These are just a few of the books found on TumbleBooks from the Ottawa Public Library.

 

 

This is a collection of children's books that have been animated and had sound added to them to allow you to read them on-line. No username or password necessary.

So, no time to get to the library? Have access to a computer? You can spend as much time as you like reading great books, playing games, doing quizzes and puzzles.

This service is free and all you need to do is go to:
