Get ready to go on a bear hunt!
If you’ve never been on a bear hunt, then watch the video below. This is probably my favorite way to get silly with bears during storytimes. Great for car trips or programs with kids, you can modify the bear hunt in many ways — lion hunt, dino hunt, and of course a ghost hunt for Halloween!

Here’s another vlog entry on two books I grabbed off of our New Books shelf, Moon Bear by Brenda Guiberson and How Many Baby Pandas? by Sandra Markle. Both are wonderful books, chock-full of excellent illustrations and photographs. Moon Bear is a lovely book that would be great to share at bedtime, and How Many Baby Pandas? is an innovative counting book that is about as cute as they come. Check out my video reviews:
A vlog on Wednesday will cover one of my favorite bear activities to share with a group of kids, and a vlog on Friday will showcase programs taking place next week. Getting crazy with the video-blogging!

A stunning adventure story awaits you all.
Imagine being 13 years old. You are on a tiny plane to visit your dad (who just divorced your mom) when it crashes. The pilot dies, and you have to survive in the Canadian wilderness with just the hatchet that mom gave you for your last birthday. Could you survive? Brian Robeson tries in Gary Paulsen’s spectacular novel, Hatchet.
If you’ve never read the 1988 Newbery Honor book Hatchet, get yourself to a library right now and check it out! It’s a great book for older elementary school kids and upward. It has some scary moments, but the scary bits aren’t sensationalized in the least. An absolute page-turner!
Here’s my booktalk (a.k.a. book advertisement) for this gripping story:
