Greetings
Readers Young and Old,
Yes it's
true, we have more books than we have ever had before! Our house is
bursting with excellent reading material.
We'll
begin with the non readers. The board books for ages 0-3 are the most
expensive and hardest to find. They also have been selling the fastest
but we have a glorious selection. For you new moms and grandmas we have
plenty of beautiful books for your tots.
I can't
even begin to tell you about the picture books. So many have been brought
back into print that I knew when I was a small child. They range in the
2.00 to 4.00$ range. If there is something specific you need just
ask, I can usually find it. I've included my phone number and address in
the heading. Just give me a call!
We have
such delightful Christmas selections for adults and children this year.
All the Christmas books will be set up downstairs.
Now for
the beginning readers ages 4-6 I have a terrific selection, mostly singles but
still I have the Biscuit books for new readers. I know you will find
something your child will be interested in!
For ages
7-9 I have really stocked up on the Magic Tree House Books. They range in
the 2.00-2.50 price range.Beginning chapter books are so very important for our
children. They determine whether or not your child graduates to the
thicker and more exciting adventures. I just got home from a trip to
Italy and I found that Geronimo Stilton is the most read author for emergent
readers in all of Italy!! I have an excellent selection of his books but
they do sell out quickly. I also have The Chocolate Touch by Patrick
Catling. I remember reading it to my boys aloud and laughing my head off.
It's 2.00 for ages 8 up. Also for boys I have Lawn Boy by Gary
Paulsen. It's on my dads top ten list for funny books. I am so
grateful to have it back in stock. (3.00 8 up) For girls I have The
Hundred Dress! It's my most requested book for young girls and was
written by Eleanor Estes. It's finally back in print. (4.00 8 up)
Old Yeller by Fred Gipson is back in print. It's one of the
favorites from my younger days. (2.00 10 up) Lastly is the
CLEMENTINE BOOKS. THEY WERE MY MOMS FAVORITE FOR YOUNG GIRLS! (3.00
8 up) I also have the beloved Fairy books for 2.00 each. The 7-9
year old young ladies LOVE them.
Now for
the older readers. I got a remarkable deal on all three of the Newberry
winners this year! They are all 5.00 each! The winner is called The
One and Only Ivan by Katherine Applegate. It's a story for animal lovers
folks and it really tugs at the heart strings. I loved it. It's
also good for both boys and girls. For girls I also have The Princess
Academy and The Palace of Stone by Shannon Hale. She knows how to tell a
story! (4.00 11 up) The newest Newberry honor books are Splendors and
Glooms, a magnificent fantastical novel by Laura Amy Schlitz, and Three Times
Lucky by Sheila Turnage. Both are for ages 12 AND up and are 5.00.
I have always loved Carl Hiaasen's books but they have been too expensive
to carry. He lives in England and writes exclusively about the Florida
Everglades and saving the environment. I lucked out and got CHOMP and
HOOT for 4.00 each. They are hysterical and impressive. I highly
recommend them!
For the
older boys I got my hands on a bunch of Rick Riordans books including The Son
of Neptune in hardback! They range between 4.00 to 5.00 and are for older
boys. For male sports enthusiasts we have a nice selection of well
written athletic novels. (3.00-4.00 12 up)
There are
so many books I'd like to tell you about but I'm rambling now. Come and
see all the new reads and the old reads that are back in print! You
won't be sorry. Thank you so much for your support and kind words.
See you next week!
Most Sincerely,
Tracine, The Book Lady's
Daughter
