Jurassic Poop- Jacob Berkowitz

I have used Bev’s great idea for Crazy About Canada and am trying it for Jurassic Poop. This non-fiction book is sure to capture the attention of readers; probably our boys in particular. In looking at this topic in a scientific but humorous manner, many little known facts about “poop” are explored.  Some of the headings themselves are just worth reading: Who Dung It? When was it pooped? Teaxan Turd Treasure. Dried Doo-Doo.

The grade 4/5 class that I booktalked this with really chuckled as I broached this topic. Catching their interest is important- now it will be interesting to see how many of them follow through and read it.

    I Love Kids’ Books
    I have the privilege of being a teacher-librarian in 2 elementary schools. That means I have the best of all worlds; I teach and work with children from Kindergarten through grade 8; my job encompasses the management of the libraries as well as developing the collections. And my homework? Reading and more reading! What more could a life-long bookworm ask for? The point of this blog is mainly for my own use- to make myself some notes about some of the many books I read- to prompt my failing memory, to use as the basis for book-talks or newsletter inserts and to provide information for others that may be interested. These will not be formal or lengthy- but just some of my thoughts.
