Books are Important Just Like You!


Did you know books have families?  Did you know they have birthdates?  We have an index finger to point to important things like cookies in the grocery store.  Books have indexes to point us to important facts within it's pages.   

This week we looked at the similarities between books and ourselves.  The Trillium learned about how it takes a family to raise a book (author, illustrator, publisher, and designer).  The Huckleberries learned the importance at looking at a book's covers, spine, title page, and copyright page and that they can tell us so much about the book before even reading it.  The Clarkia learned about how a Table of Contents can be just like their organized closets to help find things quickly.  The Alders learned about Bibliographies and the importance of documenting other sources when it is due.  

We had a great week of learning.
