You remember school love notes in February.
Folded pieces of paper passed fast in the hall to you & notes someone else found tucked into the math book.
Maybe put there by you.
Arnold Adoff & Lisa Desimini remember those days. They team up for the best book of sweet poems on the school love topic. Isbn 0.590.48478.8 It’s all here. The shyness, the frustration & the puppy love. It includes mom & dad & the teacher & the whole family. Plus the kid across the aisle
Lisa brings each poem to the page visually in tender & inventive ways. Arnold Adoff deftly gifts us with the words that say I hope you never find out this red heart is from me. I think you will oooh & aaah through this book.
I especially like the chalkboard rimmed with the alphabet page & the dad on the sofa page. Enjoy!
We keep creepy Halloween in a box 11 months out of the year.
Come October, the ghosties & ghoulies, black cats & bats
are let out of the box.
We hammer tombstones into the yard dirt & place home-made pumpkins
of paper around the living room.
My daughter puts read-aloud Halloween books on a low table.
And she & her father stuff & dress a scarecrow who guards our yard. We will all
carve the pumpkin closer to the big evening.
What are your favorite Halloween titles? Once you read some of ours, these may become a grand part of
your Halloween bookshelf:
SIX CREEPY SHEEP by Judith Ross Enderle & Stephanie Gordon Tessler, with illustrations from John O’Brien
BAT JAMBOREE by Kathi Appelt, with illustrations by Melissa Sweet
THE LITTLE SCARECROW BOY by Margaret Wise Brown (yes, MWB herself, without a bunny in sight) and brought to a delightful modern art interpretation by David Diaz.

Is this shape a little Kindle-like?
This is a Horn Book. The kind before we had today’s The Horn Book .
Horn Books were available to learners, especially children (usually boys) who were able to sit with a teacher, in the Colonies, especially Massachusetts, New York, Connectitcut, Rhode Island, New Jersey & Pennsylvania, of Great Britain (later the U.S.A)
This Horn Book is for a wealthy family, crafted of silver and ivory & it most likely was made in England.
It is one of many treasures in the Children’s Literature Center of the Library of Congress, where the Chief, Dr. Sybille A. Jagusch, is herself another treasure for you to discover there.
