August is usually when I buy new books for the library. This is because I have some time to clean out everything IN the library and to see what we lost during the past year. Then I try to think about what we need for our school work, and what kids seem to like reading for fun. I will do some serious shopping next week. However, over the weekend I remembered we had some money leftover from the book fair, and I bought some things that I think sound good. First I added to our Judy Moody collection. I bought Judy Moody, Around the World in 8 1/2 Days and a new book about her brother Stink. If you haven't read books in this series, they are pretty funny. I find that kids who enjoy books like Junie B. Jones, the Ramona series, or Judy Blume's Fudge books usually like them a lot.
I also bought some more biographies since people really do use them a lot. I bought the Secrets of Droon series because Zac recommended it. We have lots of fantasy readers at Plympton, and I want them to have plenty of choices. Finally, I bought a series of books called World Discovery Science that has nonfiction books about lots of science topics, such as astronomy and animal behavior. I know LOTS of kids like these types of nonfiction books.
Since I am going to be doing more shopping, let me know if you have an idea for some books I should buy!
Your library pal,

Hi Ms. Paradis,
I read a book called Sideways Stories from WaySide School and Wayside School is Falling Down by Louis Sachar. It was supposed to be 30 stories high but the builder forgot the 19th story. The builder said he was sorry. Can you believe that? You should read these books. They are really silly and very very funny. There are 3 books in the series. I am reading Wayside School Gets a Little Stranger Now.

Hey Dan!
I am so glad you found these books. I LOVE them too. If you like silly books, also see if you can find any books by Daniel Pinkwater or James Marshall. YOu would like them also.
See you soon,

Hi Ms. Paradis'
I read a funny book called Miss Daisy Is Crazy. It's about a teacher that is a grade 2 teacher that doesn't know anything. Isn't that crazy? There are 21 books in the series! I think you should buy these for the school. I am looking forward to reading the rest of them.
Your friend,
Daniel
