Recently on YALSA-BK one of the members posted an email encouraging librarians to have their teens recognize Movember or NoSHAVEmber in support of men’s health. This looks like a lot of fun and can promote reading as well. Take a look at their facebook
page to see their ideas. Even though November is flying by, you could still have some involvement and spill over into December, what could it hurt? As the librarian said, “Don’t shave it for later! Join in now.”
I thoroughly enjoyed
Rabbit & Robot – The Sleepover written and illustrated by Cece Bell. Unlikely friends, Rabbit is hosting Robot for their first sleepover. Rabbit has written a list of things they will do, and surprises Robot with it when he arrives. They have different tastes and likes which become evident as the evening moves along. Rabbit likes carrots and snow peas on his pizza. Robot likes nuts and bolts on his. Lots of fun and readers will enjoy the fact that they are able to work things out. This is a beginning reader for early elementary age children.
