New Books For Me!

Raindrop Plop Review

Another book I read to my Pre-K kids yesterday was Raindrop Plop by Wendy Cheyette Lewison and illustrated by Pam Paparone.

The kids loved to help me "count" the drops of rain and we all loved the dog's antics throughout the book! It is a bright, fun, interactive book that kept my Pre-K crowd engaged...that's always a good book! lol!

This book was one of Dolly Parton's Imagination Library selections this month. If you have a child 5 or under and you live in the state of TN, you'll want to sign up for this neat service! You receive free books!! Neat!

Gearing Up for Reading Challenges!

I haven’t been reading much lately and that’s not good. I can’t seem to make time for it even though I want to read….so I’ve signed up for several reading challenges! One challenge is to read 6 books that are set in a different country…that’s the Armchair Traveler Challenge. And then there is the challenge to read 12 books from an awards list. I had planned on checking these books out from the library but I think I may have found a better option for me.

BooksFree.com is quite similar to Netflix but instead of movies, you rent books and audiobooks. I went there earlier today and added my challenge books to my queue. BooksFree had all the books I need except for two. I signed up for a free 1-month complimentary membership in which I will receive two books at a time. After I finish reading them, I will place them in the postage paid return envelope and send them back to BooksFree. There are several different memberships available. The one I am trying for free is the $9.99 membership and really, if you were to see my local library fines you would agree that this is going to cost us less money!
