An Unexpected Friendship and Baseball
"When it comes to being glamorous, less is sometimes more, but when it comes to having friends... you can never have too many." -Glamourpuss
We just completed our ninth Red Clover book together! It's amazing to think that we only have one more to go before voting.
Glamourpuss, by Sarah Weeks, tells the story of a luxurious (and spoiled) cat whose easy life is interrupted by the arrival of a trick wielding chihuahua named Bluebelle. This visitor/intruder throws Glamourpuss into the unexpected headspace of doubting just how special she really is. But before all is lost, something happens that changes Glamourpuss's perspective and unites the two together. It's a great reminder that we all have more in common than often meets the eye.
In addition to reading another wonderful Red Clover title, I also wanted to share my favorite "sign of spring" with the students - baseball! And when I think of great baseball picture books I immediately think of Matt Tavares. Matt is an amazing author/illustrator, and makes his love of story telling and baseball obvious to all lucky enough to read his books. As usual, it was another great week here in the SATEC library!
