Answer to Monday's Riddle: Bending Light...

Excellent guessing, Riddlers! Friday we have a colorful review of a story that will pluck the strings of your imagination, so stay tuned for the good vibes. See you all around the book block. ; ) ~ F

Rain falls, bending light- forty-two paints a sight. Once you see what's not there, it's natural to point and stare. Your spirit dances with delight when it's fresh, crisp, and bright. Greedy eyes soak it in, following along the rim. Blurry drops bleed blue while falling on cue. In line, they'll appear, ordered seven 'round a sphere. Victory's not gold at end, it's knowing this as your friend.

What am I referring to? Answer: Rainbow!

Margo's Musings: Creepy Carrots

Fall is in the air, the leaves are putting on a beautiful show, and Halloween décor is everywhere. Seeing pumpkins and scarecrows has put us in the mood for cooler days and spookier stories. I think that is why my little sister, Margo, was drawn to Creepy Carrots by Aaron Reynolds. The colors on the cover drew me in too and I wanted to know how carrots could be creepy.

Jasper Rabbit loves carrots, and he can’t resist them. Every time he walks by Crackenhopper Field he must crunch a few tasty treats.  But then he starts to worry that his favorite food is following him. Can the carrots be after him? Jasper thinks so, and he knows he has to do something to protect himself!

The story is the perfect blend of a little spooky and a little funny. Margo and I cracked up at the end and we loved the faces on the carrots. Creepy Carrots is a wonderful book to read near Halloween because of the colors in the illustrations- but the book can be read any time of year, because it doesn’t actually tie into the holiday.

I thought Margo would want to skip carrots after reading this story, but instead she held a funny conversation with the carrots she dipped into hummus. I wish you could have heard her!

Has anyone else read Creepy Carrots? Or have you read another book by Aaron Reynolds? We’d love to hear your thoughts!

Happy reading!

Fairday Morrow and the Talking Library. 😀 

Eleven-year-old Fairday Morrow had no clue that moving from Manhattan to the small town of Ashpot, Connecticut, would lead to an unsolved mystery. Her parents’ dream of renovating a crumbling Victorian, called the Begonia House, into a bed and breakfast had seemed like treachery at the time. But Fairday found out that her new house kept secrets, and once inside its twisted front gates, anything was possible.

When mysterious notes start showing up warning that a librarian is in trouble and a bookworm is eating words, Fairday thinks the Begonia House has more skeletons in its closets. She notices a passage in her favorite book has been changed, and she’s certain something is dreadfully wrong. What happens to stories when their words get eaten?

The Detective Mystery Squad is ready to investigate! Fairday, Lizzy, and Marcus take off on a sticky trail and tumble into Nowhere. Like Alice in Wonderland, Fairday finds herself in a world where nothing makes sense and the lines of reality are blurred.

The three sleuths discover amazing things about themselves as they unravel more secrets within the walls of the Begonia House. Follow along with Fairday and friends as they open the next case in the DMS files to unlock the mystery of the Talking Library.

Answer to Monday's Riddle: Wild Roots...

Excellent guessing, Riddlers! Friday, Margo has picked some root words she'd like to share with you, so stay tuned! See you all around the book block. ; ) ~ F

My roots spring from Queen Anne's Lace; I prefer to live in a sunny place. I've lots of styles to behold, but twisted orange makes my mold. Snowmen wouldn't have a nose if I'd not been picked to stick and pose; Bugs would've dropped his line without me on which to dine.

What am I? Answer: Carrot!
