	We've got old favorites here, and new. Old: Daddy Longlegs, Mary Poppins series, Trixie Beldon Mysteries, and a host of others. New: The Teacher's Funeral by Richard Peck. All of his books are funny, but this one starts with the death of the mean old school marm. The narrator's sister decides she will be the new teacher, and plucks the pointer out of the old gal's hand before they close the lid of the casket. It is hilarious and Peck always ends his tales with a clever and surprising twist.

	For the small fry in your human cat-loving families, Skippyjon Jones by Judith Schachner will be a BIG hit! Skippyjon is a rambunctious Siamese kitten who decides he's a chihuahua. It is REALLY fun to read aloud! There are a couple of sequels which include CDs of the books. She also wrote The Grannyman which is such a poignant cat story. Schachner is also the illustrator and the pictures are AMAZING!

	Just read The Invention of Hugo Cabret by Brian Selznick. What a wonderful book! It's about a boy who lives in the inner workings of a Paris train station in the 1930's and who becomes interested in restoring an old automaton to discover what the device will write. It's a long book, but is partly told in wonderful drawings, so it only takes a couple hours to read. This book is creative, engrossing, and beautiful! It was nominated for a National Book Award in the children's division. Highly recommended! Couldn't put it down! Luna & Kingsley

	Need a gift for the dog-loving small fry in your family? One of our favorites is: Once I Ate a Pie by Patricia MacLachlan. It is really really really fun to read out loud! You can tell that the author(s) know and LOVE all kinds of dogs! It is a gem. Kingsley & Luna

	If you are having Harry Potter withdraw, try the Charlie Bones series! Mom has read four of the books in the series but there may be more now. They aren't as long as the Harry Potter books but are equally as inventive, and also follow an unlikely hero with magical powers.

	I just started reading the first book in a young adult series called The Olympians yesterday. This book is The Lightning Thief. It's about a boy named Percy Jackson who gets kicked out of one school after another and is beginning to discover that there is something different about him. I'm only on page 36, so I don't know all the tricks yet, but the plot involves a lot of mythology--I've already recognized a harpy, I think! I love mythology and this appears to be a well-written combination of mythology and realism! Very absorbing, at least up to page 36! Your bookworm friend (and action guy), Kingsley

	Finished the first three books in the Olympian series (the one that I mentioned in the above post.) What good books! If you've been having Harry Potter withdrawal, this is the first fantasy series that I've found that even comes close to being as clever as Harry Potter. I laughed out loud so many times that people were looking at me funny. The author is Rick Riordan--he has a really fun website too. The fourth book in the series comes out May 6. The really ROTTEN thing is, I discovered today (April 20!) that he was in town YESTERDAY (April 19!) Kitty cusswords! I would have loved to hear him speak! I am hooked--these are terrific reads, especially if you love mythology. Kingsley
