Book Nook: Library Lion

When we go on long car trips, we would not survive without our books on CD! We go to the library, and check out a few to keep us occupied as we drive. One of our favorite books on CD is Mr. Putter and Tabby Take the Train by Cynthia Rylant, read by John McDonough.

On our last trip, we discovered a new favorite. This book has beautiful illustrations and a wonderful story, and we loved listening to the CD as our minivan cruised on the highway.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars
When Mr. McBee comes running to tell Miss Merriweather, the head librarian, that there is a lion in the library, she doesn’t blink an eye! As long as he follows the rules, why shouldn’t there be a lion in the library? Mr. McBee is not at all happy with this arrangement, but the children are delighted!

Lion becomes a regular visitor and helper at the library. But what happens when Lion breaks the rules?

Where in the World?

Where in the world are you this Wednesday? Whether you’ve traveled the globe or have merely gotten lost in a book, I’d love to read about the places you go! Have you documented your kids riding a camel in Egypt or clinging to a carousel horse at the mall? Whether you’ve traveled the country or stepped out to your own backyard, share with us: Where in the world are you?

Ed is at work today, but I know this is where he wishes he could be: on a porch at a log cabin in a rocking chair with his baby! I took this picture during our trip to Southern Illinois in 2005.
