Now Watch This - Jinx

I found this book trailer for JINX.  This 2013 title is available in our library and a sequel is on the way this year.

Looking forward to new books

Are any of your favorite authors publishing a new book in 2014? I am still busy reading books from 2013 but I did take a break to read SEVEN STORIES UP by Laurel Snyder. It will be published at the end of the month. Be sure to look for copies in our library. More to share after I have finished it.

Ready to listen

Making plans for more audio books in the Prairie Creek Library. 

First step is reading this valuable resource. 

Will get student input with a survey next week.

Bud, Not Buddy

Prairie Creek is full of Bud, Not Buddy fans.

I wonder who has listened to the audio version?

Audiobooks are available through the Creek library but I discovered today that we did not have a copy of Bud, Not Buddy (gasp). Look for it soon on the New Arrivals shelf.







While you are waiting take a listen to this excerpt of the audio book (from Listening Library)

Happy new year!

As the snow is falling I am busy reading book reviews and building orders for the new year ahead.  Do have a favorite craft? Is there a hobby you would like to begin this year? (Leave a comment to let me know)

Holy Bagumba! Our First Mock Newbery Book.

Mock Newbery groups are forming this month at Prairie Creek Intermediate.

What is a Mock Newbery group? These groups will follow the procedures of the actual Newbery committee. We will read a set of great books published this year, use a version of the official criteria to evaluate these titles, and vote to decide the books we think should win.  In January we'll compare our results to the official Newbery winning books.

Our first title for consideration is Flora and Ulysses: The Illuminated Adventures by Kate DiCamillo.



More titles coming soon.

Book Fair needs you!

The next Scholastic Book Fair is coming in November and we are looking for a Student Crew. What does the Student Crew do? Watch this video for details.
Pick up a volunteer form in the library.
