Welcome to the new week - and our new books!
This week we have on the shelf some classics and some newer writing.


Stellaluna

Stellaluna is the story of a baby bat, who finds herself trying to fit in, and realises some of her differences can really be an advantage!  This story is also a readaloud story on the Storytimeonline site (see Fun Stuff links).
The Nightmare Before Christmas

We also have The Nightmare Before Christmas in a manga graphic novel format, to be read back to front!

On a more serious note, we have a biography of Anne Frank, and some science tricks from The Surfing Scientist.
