John, Paul, George, and Ben by Lane Smith

Looking for fun facts and silly nonsense about some of the Founding Fathers of our country? Well, look no further than this colorful book by Lane Smith. You will learn about John Hancock, Paul Revere, George Washington, Ben Franklin, and Thomas Jefferson too, although his name isn't in the title. Reading this story is laugh out loud funny and at the end you can use the true/false quiz "Taking Liberties" to help discover the difference between fact and fiction.

The Young Man and the Sea by Rodman Philbrick

Skiff, a twelve year old boy, has a plan to catch the biggest tuna. Then he will be rich and can show his dad that he did it himself. But his problems are plenty - their boat has sunk at the dock, his dad is not able to help him, a bully is sabotaging his fishing nets, and the best fishing for big tuna is miles from shore. In this exciting adventure you'll be right there with Skiff as he meets each challenge. You won't know if he gets that big fish or if the fish gets him unless you read The Young Man and the Sea by Rodman Philbrick.

Who are we? We are elementary school librarians in Brighton, Michigan. Did you know that school librarians have several titles? We are teachers plus librarians, so some people call us teacher-librarians. We are also called media specialists, School Library Media Specialists, or SLMS. We hope you enjoy our choices. We are very excited to welcome two new members to our elementary team this fall. Mrs. Hratchian - who will be at Spencer Elementary and Mrs. Fribley - who will be at Hornung Elementary. Mrs. Adams will now be at Hilton full time and Mrs. Spencer will now be at Hawkins full time. HAPPY READING! ~Mrs. Adams, Mrs. Spencer, Mrs. Hratchian and Mrs. Fribley
