Aug. 7th- The Hermit Crab by Carter Goodrich is a picture book about a very shy hermit crab who becomes an unlikely hero when he rescues a neighbor from a crab trap. This book is comical and sweet and reminds the reader that you don't always have to be the center of attention.

Aug. 6th- I am a huge fan of Chris Van Allsburg. This author has so many classics, like The Polar Express, Jumanji, & Zathura, among others, so I just had to reread one of my favorites, The Wretched Stone. It's a picture book written for older kids about a group of sailers who happen upon a strange glowing stone. Once they bring the stone aboard the ship, very strange things begin to happen. This story is a must read! You'll love the suspense!
