The Book Corner

This week Mrs. O'Connors and Mrs. Vandivier are talking about chapter books.  Early Chapter books, or junior chapter books, are a great transition from picture books.  They still have some pictures and the sentences are wider apart.  They also tend to be shorter, maybe 130 pages or less.  These are a great way to build confidence and there are some great books out there.

Mrs O'Connors suggests:

Fancy Nancy - Fancy Nancy ranges from picture books to early chapter books.  What's great about these is that the main character is the same in all the books which helps a new reader feel familiar with something they are reading.  Fancy Nancy is a fun and fancy girl, always looking for adventure with family and friends.

Mrs. Vandivier suggests:

Desmond Cole: Ghost Patrol - a fearless eight-year-old who runs his own ghost patrol, looking for ghosts, monsters, and mischief-makers everywhere! His unlikely partner in crime, Andres Miedoso, is scared of everything, but the best friends know sticking together is the best way to face down the creepy things in their town.  Mrs. Vandivier's son gives this series 2 big thumbs up!

You can find Fancy Nancy in the school library and Mrs. Vandivier loves to share books from her classroom so stop by if you are interested in Desmond Cole.  All books can be checked out at the library or purchased through Amazon or your local bookshop!
