Author Jackie Hopkins has just published a book this spring with Upstart. The title is "Goldie Socks and the Three Libearians"
A take-off on the original, Goldisocks is looking for just the right book. It gives an acrostic for A Just Right Book A uthor J acket U seful, etc. Goldie Socks also discovers the 5 finger test. I ordered mine from Upstart, but notice that Amazon.com has it as well. I planned to use it as an end of the year "new" book share, but after seeing the potential am saving it for fall. My slant is different as I am a librarian, but I think it opens some great discussion. I plan to use it at least through 4 grade, possibly 5th as well. The art work is very kid appealing, graphic in style enough for the older kids to get a chuckle. The Media Specialists are going to share it during the Language Arts Inservice with the teachers showing the School Library's piece in balanced literacy. With classroom libraries getting so much attention, one must remember that we need to prepare the students to pick out "Just Right Books" for themselves...without an AR dot, or a DRA Level.....
