Remember my fort of new books? I promised I would review some of them for you and here they are!

A Sick Day for Amos McGee
by Phillip C. Sneed, illustrated by Erin E. Sneed

This one isn't actually a brand new book. In my last review, I brought you this year's Newbery Medal winner so I thought it only right to review the Caldecott Medal winner. The Caldecott Medal is presented every year for the children's book with the best illustrations. This lovely book tells the story of a zookeeper, Amos McGee, and all of his friends at the zoo. But what will Amos and his friends do when Amos gets sick?

I Feel Better With a Frog in My Throat: History's Strangest Cures
by Carlyn Beccia

This is my first foray into reading non-fiction. I will warn you, it is a little gross but still very interesting. This book tells about the different, and VERY unusual, medical treatments people have used throughout history. Did you know that some people thought putting mustard on your head would get rid of a headache? What a mess!

Square Cat
by Elizabeth Schoonmaker

Eula is a square cat. She thinks that life would be much easier if she were a round cat like her friends, Patsy and Maude. But her friends help show her that being a square cat is pretty terrific!

If You're Hoppy
by April Pulley Sayre

If you're hoppy and you know it you're a rabbit! Or a maybe a cricket. This book talks about the different animals you may be based on how you feel.

Waddles
by David McPhail

Waddles is a raccoon who is best friends with a duck named Emily. When Emily's ducklings hatch, Waddles becomes happy living in the park with his new family. But what will Waddles do when it's time for the ducks to fly south for the winter? This sweet story has lovely illustrations.

I hope you'll come check out these and our other fabulous reads!

BOOK FORT!!!

Hello friends! See my lovely fort?

Every single one of those is a brand new book! Isn't it wonderful?! I'm working on reading them so I can bring you my latest picks. I will go ahead and say that the book behind me on the left, Little White Rabbit by Kevin Henkes, is my front runner for this year's Caldecott Medal. It's lovely!

Love and carrots,

Weekly Rabbit Report for April 18-22

Hello friends! It's time to find out what's going on this week at the library!

Thursday will be our busiest day this week. Ms. Linda will be doing an Easter Storytime at 10:30 and 2:30. As my distant relative is the Easter Bunny, I'm looking particularly forward to this.

Cassie and the teens will have a Go Green! program at 3pm. I hope the green part involves some romaine....

On Friday, Ms. Alyssa will have some Easter fun ready for Toddler Time at 10:30am. And don't forget about Sit with the Bunny from 4pm-4:30pm!

P.S. No signs of the intruder, thank goodness!

INTRUDER!!!!

Oh friends, I had an experience today. There was an intruder in my cage!!!

This is a photo of the beast.

His name is Stepford Guinea. He was presented to me as a guinea pig, like my friend Whitey, but he is obviously NOT the real thing. Who did they think they were trying to fool?!

Seriously, SERIOUSLY?!?!

All would have been fine and well if they had left him outside the cage, but oh no, they couldn't do that....

INTRUDER!!!

They HAD to put the creature in my cage. If his odd appearance wasn't enough, he makes HORRIBLE noises that frighten me.

I am traumatized by the whole experience. I need pellets....


Love and carrots,
Morgan

P.S. If this weren't enough humiliation, they took a video and posted it to my Facebook page....

National Library Workers Day

As a part of National Library Week, today is National Library Workers Day! Please take time to say "thank you" to any of the awesome people who work in your local library. From catalogers to desk staff, the library wouldn't be possible without all of their hard work!

I would also like to remind you that I am a library worker as well and encourage gifts of carrots and romaine as a sign of your appreciation....

Love and carrots,
Morgan

Weekly Rabbit Report for April 11-April 15

Happy National Library Week everyone! Don't forget to say "thank you" to my library mommies and aunties when you come in this week.

Once again, we have another busy week at the library with lots of special events!

Tonight, Monday April 11th, Mommy Krista is having a meeting for anyone who is interested in making jewelry! The fun starts at 7pm and I would be happy to model your creations for you (no earrings please- my ears aren't pierced).

On Tuesday at 10am, Jennifer is hosting a "Get to Know Microsoft Word" program. It is the first of three classes that helps you learn more about this popular word processing program. Registration is required for this program, so please call or stop in to get signed up.

Thursday is going to be a FANTASTIC day for programs!!!

First, Ms. Bobbi will host a Storytime that is all about Kings and Queens at 10:30am and 2:30pm.

Can you survive in the library? Cassie hosts Library Survivor for the teens at 3pm.

Then, we will have a special program at 7pm on Thursday that I am REALLY excited about. Vegecurious with Chef Wendell brings back Chef Wendell Fowler as he discusses how fresh, locally grown vegetables can change your life. This program was meant for me! I will say that the last time Chef Wendell spoke, we had quite a crowd so I would get here a little early. I wonder if he will have samples....

And finally, Ms. Janice will have a flower-filled Toddler Time at 10:30am on Friday.

Wow, it sounds like the mommies and aunties are going to have a busy week!

New Books!!!

New books, new books! Tra la la la la!!! I love it when we get new books. Ms. Janet has been bringing out stacks and stacks of them! I took the liberty of looking over a few of them for you. Here are my favorites!

Otis & Sydney and the Best Birthday Ever
by Laura Numeroff

I love the "If You Give a..." books by Laura Numeroff. This is a new book she has written about two best friends named Otis and Sydney. Otis wants to plan the best birthday ever for Sydney. Will his surprise party be as wonderful as he hopes?

Fancy Nancy and the Fabulous Fashion Boutique
by Jane O'Connor

Ooo la la, our favorite fancy girl is back! When Nancy wants a new lace fan, she decides to sell some of her clothes and accessories at her own boutique to earn money. But what will she do when she sells a necklace that her little sister falls in love with?

Moon Over Manifest

by Clare Vanderpool

This is a very special book. See the shiny gold medal on the cover? That medal means this book is a Newbery Award Winner! The Newbery Award is given out every year to a book that is considered the year's best for kids. Abilene Tucker is sent to Manifest, Kansas for the summer while her father works on the railroad. She's at first disappointed in the worn-down town but a cigar box full of trinkets sends her and her new friends on a spy hunt! As Abilene learns more about the mystery and the history of Manifest, she soon starts to feel a part of the little town.

These were just a few of the new things we got in. Please come check out what else we have!
