Take A Halloween Ride Into October!

We're excited to kick off the season with a little chill to your bones. Enjoy this spooky guest post and take a halloween ride into October! 

Sammy the teddy bear is Gregory’s best friend in A Gregory Green Adventure series. In their latest adventure, Halloween Ride, Sammy befriends a witch’s broom. Only to Sammy does the broom reveal it has a face in its handle, and only for Sammy will the broom communicate.

How does a broom communicate, you ask? It taps it’s handle on the floor for yes or no, of course!

Sammy: Hello, Broom! I know you don’t have a voice, so knock once for “yes” and twice for “no,” okay?

Broom: *knocks once* Yes

Sammy: Were you always a magical broom?

Broom: *knocks twice* No

*Sammy gasps* Sammy: You were an ordinary broom once?

Broom: *knocks once* Yes

Sammy: Did the witch buy you from a store?

Broom: *Knocks twice* No

*The broom hops over to Gregory’s desk and points its crooked handle at the trash can*

*Sammy covers his mouth with his paw*

Sammy: You were in the trash?

Broom: *Knocks once* Yes

Sammy: Was it because your handle is crooked?

Broom: *Knocks once* Yes

*Feeling sad, Sammy pats the broom*

Sammy: So, the witch found you, saw you were special, and made you magical?

Broom: *Knocks once* Yes

Sammy: Did it hurt when the witch made you come to life?

Broom: *Knocks twice* No

Sammy: It didn’t hurt me when I came to life, either.

*Sammy looks toward the bedroom door*

Sammy: Ssh. I haven’t told Gregory that story yet. But I’ll tell you, and it’ll be our little secret.

*whispers to the broom*

Fairday's Riddle: Who Is It?

Hello, Riddlers! Can you guess our theme this week? They're typically among my favorite characters in stories. 😉~ F

Not what they seem by mystical lore; rustling feathers silently soar. Gold eyes open at night fall, echoing out those who call. You may get a note that tells of magic or a strange omen that's possibly tragic. Minerva knows this calling sign, it's woven into story time. 

What am I referring to? Stop by Wednesday for the answer!

Margo's Musings: Everyone's an Inventor!

Margo and I love picking out books from our local library. Today we discovered a beautiful board book and it has only been out a few weeks. What a treat! Little Heroes: Inventors Who Changed the World by Heidi Poelman is a book that families and schools should definitely add to their collections. I can already tell we’ll be reading it over and over again.

This is the inspiring book about a wide assortment of inventors and how they made their mark on the world. Some of the people featured were men and others were women. They lived in different places and times throughout history. I learned a lot while reading about some of the most important contributions each person made to society. I knew about some of the inventors, like Marie Curie, and the Wright Brother. But others like, Cai Lun were new to me. I had no idea he invented the first piece of paper! Lots of interesting tidbits about inventors including: Leonardo da Vinci, Marie Curie, Nikola Tesla, Thomas Edison, Orville and Wilbur Wright, Grace Hopper, Mary Sherman Morgan, and Cai Lun.

The book is written in a way that's easy for young children to understand, but the facts and information can be enjoyed by people of all ages. Margo loved the pictures. They're so bright and bold they pull the reader in. I especially liked how the artist, Kyle Kershner, drew the faces. 

Reading this story made me happy that these wise men and women were able to ask questions and they didn’t give up on their passions. I think Margo wants to be a scientist now- or at least she does this week. She keeps taking my magnifying glass and looking at everything. Her curiosity is awesome! Who knows what she’ll discover. 

Little Heroes: Inventors Who Changed the World is a wonderful book for people who like to learn about history in an interesting way. It's a book that will inspire. I bet you will learn something new too!

Happy reading! ~ F
