I couldn‘t stay up any later last night, so I missed it by THAT much.

#kidlit for the win! They closed my library so I could sub for a first grade teacher. She wanted a math lesson where the kids could write math phrases about a picture, but she was sick and her plans were incomplete. Thank dog I have all the books! I may be the only one who checks out the Anno books. I imagine the next librarian will weed them.
Each page introduces a new number, incorporating engaging illustrations that demonstrate the actions and activities of the fox as it hunts for its next meal. The book combines the elements of a counting book with a suspenseful story, creating an exciting and educational reading experience for young readers.
This is a counting book that follows the story of a sly fox and its pursuit of prey in the English countryside. The book begins with one fox and gradually introduces numbers as the fox attempts to catch some birds, chicks, rabbits, and other animals.

A good pick for spooky season! 🎃

Happy Talk Like a Pirate Day! ☠️
Published in 2003, Just a Minute won the Pura Belpre Award along with the golden kite award. This is a story about Grandma Beetle needing to do chores around the house before she is able to go with Senor Calavera. I would read this story to my classroom because it has excellent illustrations and a good message about being patient. It also includes culture that some students may not be familiar with to learn more about.
