Pottermore Now Open for All!
If you have Harry Potter fans, or are one yourself (like me) you are now able to sign up and explore J. K. Rowling’s site:
Pottermore. I have only just begun to look through the site. It says there are new writings by J.K. Rowling that can only be found on the site, so I definitely want to take a look at those. You are also supposed to look for hidden items that will be useful as you go along. This looks like a fun way to revisit the books and learn more about how Rowling set up Harry’s world and events.
Not too long ago I read
Toys Come Home by Emily Jenkins. A prequel to the first book,
Toys Go Out, this title tells how StingRay first came to the house, and her efforts to fit in. Readers will also learn, among other things, how Lumphy joined the family and how Sheep lost her ear. Endearing tale of toys learning to care for each other. The wonderful illustrations by Paul O. Zelinsky add life to the characters.
(The Nebraska Library Commission receives free copies of children’s and young adult books for review from a number of publishers. After review, the books are distributed free, via the Regional Library Systems, to Nebraska school and public libraries.)
