Sleepy Bear Meets Stephanie Barden, Book Author!

Hi Book Buddies,

Today was a super special day for me. I got to meet my favorite book author, Stephanie Barden! Ms. Barden had a book party at Mockingbird Books in Green Lake and I got to have my picture taken with her!

Sleepy Bear Meets the Author! April 28, 2012

 

Do you remember when Ms. Barden gave me a copy of her book to read before it was for sale? It was called, Cinderella Smith, The More the Merrier. Well, the book is now for sale in bookstores!

 

 

 

Oh, and Ms. Barden gave me a shoe to wear around my neck because Cinderella Smith is always losing her shoes and now it is like I found one of her shoes. I chose a yellow one because Kathleen, my reading and writing teacher, has yellow shoes just like this one.

Now, go ask an adult really super nicely to take you to Mockingbird Books and buy a copy of Cinderella Smith, The More the Merrier. I know you will LOVE the story as much as I did. Oh, and you don’t have to be a girl to like the story. Even boys like me really like reading about Cinderella and Charles, too.

I’m going to go read my copy of Cinderella Smith, The More the Merrier, again!

Your Book Buddy,

Sleepy Bear

Sleepy Bear Reads More Poetry

Hi Book Buddies,

Tonight I’m reading more poems from my poetry book called, What A Day It Was At School!, by Jack Prelutsky.

 

Reading With Tsavo

I chose to read with my Best Book Buddy, Tsavo. That means I can’t drink my hot cocoa with goo-gobs of whippy cream. Tsavo might want some and then she would get very sick.

 

 

One of my favorite poems is called “It’s Library Time” because I like going to the library. Kathleen went to the library today. She brought home a tall stack of books. It is almost as tall as me!

I hope you write to me and share some of your favorite poems, too.

Your Book Buddy,

Sleepy Bear

Sleepy Bear Reads Poetry!

Hi Book Buddies,

Did you know that April is poetry month? That means for the entire month of April, I’m going to read poetry!

What A Day It Was At School!

 

 

The first book of poetry I chose to read is called, What A Day It Was At School!, by Jack Prelutsky.

 

 

 

There are a lot of funny poems in this book. One of my favorites is called, “I Wish I’d Studied Harrder”. It’s about a student who didn’t study for his spelling test. He got a lot of words wrong. There is one in the title of the poem that he misspelled. Do you know which word?

Check back later and I will share more of my favorite poems. I hope you write to me and share some of your favorite poems, too.

Your Book Buddy,

Sleepy Bear
