Friday was the last day of the Plympton Summer Program and we spent the day looking at some new books that just came in.  Of all the books we looked at, kids really liked three of them a lot, so maybe you will too! If you cannot find these at the city library this summer, I will have them at the Plympton Library in September (which is not too far away at all!).  Here are our three favorites:

• Sea of Dreams by Dennis Nolan is a picture book without words that tells the story of the adventures that take place in a sand castle after the girl who built it goes home for the night.  
• Gingerbread Man Loose in School by Laura Murray is a comic book-style picture book about a Gingerbread Man who runs AFTER some kids who leave him behind when it is time for recess.  It is a very funny twist on the traditional story.
• The Library Gingerbread Man by Dotti Enderle tells what happens when the Gingerbread Man leaves his book in the library and runs along the shelves.  As he passes each section of the library, animals, jokesters, robots, and everyone from the biography section tries to catch him, but it is the clever librarian who figures out how to get him where he belongs.

I hope you've found some good new books to read this summer too!  Let me know what you're reading.
