The Adirondack Kids series has
9 books now with new ones
coming every year. I can't wait
until I can read this series on my
own!  Signed copies available in
this series.
Another classic from Alexandra
Day, Carl's Snowy Afternoon
leaves you wanting a warm cup of
hot chocolate to cozy up with!
Thanks for coming to my page.  I am two now and love to sing my
ABC's and any song from The Sound of Music.  When I am not skiing,
I am reading.  Here are a few of my favorites!
Robert Frost's Stopping by Woods on a
Snowy Evening with Susan Jeffers's 1978
illustrations plays up a festive family
atmosphere. I hope to have lots of snow to
play in this winter with my family.
Mom says Henry is a big trouble maker, but
knows that kids will love Horrid Henry.  Each
book contains four easy-to-read stories and
hilarious illustrations by the one and only
Tony Ross, so even the most reluctant of
readers won't be able to resist Henry's
amazing talent for trouble!
Princess Hyacinth has a problem:
she floats. And so the king and
queen have pebbles sewn into the
tops of her socks, and force her to
wear a crown encrusted with the
heaviest jewels in the kingdom to
keep her earthbound. But one day,
Hyacinth comes across a balloon
man and decides to take off all her
princess clothes, grab a balloon,
and float free. Hooray! Alas, when
the balloon man lets go of the
string . . . off she goes. Luckily,
there is a kite and a boy named
Boy to save her.
This marvelous prequel will appeal to older
teens, who will not only devour it, but will
also love talking about it.  If you missed
Graceling don't worry Mom and Dad ordered
plenty.  They don't want you to miss these
two titles!
Simply put, this is about a group of boys that
have their minds wiped and get stuck inside a
labyrinthine maze that's impossible to solve.
There's only one safe spot--an acre in the
center--that closes off every night. Every day
when the boys wake up, the walls have
changed and the maze is different. For years
they've tried to think their way out of it and
have made little to no progress.

Then one day the game changes...
Otis is my hero at the moment.  I love
to say "putt puff puttedy chuff." when
my Mama or Dada reads this aloud to
me.  Otis is a fun-loving tractor  whose
best friend is a little calf.  Do not miss
this book, I know I will always keep a
copy by my bed!
This is a great book for hockey fans.  
I have been watching some hockey
on T.V. and I can't wait to learn to
skate!
