Time to Hit the Books

Orange you lucky! makes going back to school fun.

Helen Dardik designed bookplates to help your little one's literary show and tell items

 make their way home again after being loaned to little fellow bookworms.

Here are a few titles for last minute peptalk/storytime reading before the big first day of school: 

Wemberly Worried by Kevin Henkes

The Kissing Hand by Audrey Penn

My Name Is Yoon by Helen Recorvits

Chrysanthemum  by Kevin Henkes

David Goes To School by David Shannon

A Bad Case of Stripes by David Shannon

Stand Tall, Molly Lou Melon by Patty Lovell

First Day Jitters by Julie Danneberg

Check out more suggested first day of school books at goodreads and then find them at your local library or favorite bookstore. Better stop at the store and buy the biggest box of tissues you can find too.

Be safe kids and remember: Stop, look, and listen.

And for you older students:

Don't get stuck in the bathroom with the kid known for giving "welcome swirlies".

 In other words, one doesn't outgrow the need to stop, look and listen.

Grownups: You too.

Best wishes to all for a great school year.
