Happy Book Club New Year!

I'm  pleased to announce the beginning of our our new Tiger Talk Book Club Year.   Since our book club starts in the spring it's a new year for us.  I'm happy to have three families in the club and we're going to have a great time!

We were slightly delayed because we were waiting for Doll Bones to come in as our first book for the club.  Unfortunately it didn't come in so I changed the book to The One and Only Ivan, by Katherine Applegate.  It's a book that caught my eye in the library and at the book fair, and it's also the Newbery Award winner for 2013.  I can't wait to talk about it with our book club.  If you have any comments as you're reading post them here!

Did you know that Ivan was a real gorilla. This book is a work of fiction, but it's based on an actual gorilla who did live in a mall in Washington state.  Sometimes a story just needs to be told.  Check out this link to learn more about the book and author. http://theoneandonlyivan.com/ivan
