We buzzzzzzz'ed into a new book group for 2nd and 3rd grade kids! Before talking books, we quizzed each other with riddles from the Bee-Hat-- "What do bumblebees wear on the beach? --Bee-kinis!" Then we shared our favorite characters and events from books published in 2012. Here are the recs from tonight's discussion:

Aziza - Ordinary Magic by Caitlen Rubio-Bradway
Amelia - Junie B., First Grader: Turkeys We Have Loved and Eaten (and Other Thankful Stuff) by Barbara Park
Kira - Dancing Queen by Marci Peschke
Miss Polly - Nikki and Deja: Wedding Drama by Karen English

Scott, Hailee, and Khalea got busy with us to make bee-themed bookmarks.

Next month? "It Came from Outer Space" Monday, October 15, 6:30 p.m.
We'll be reading science fiction books. Stop by the Kids Zone
to pick up a bookmark with reading suggestions.
