Ginnette Cameron-Gardner – Primary Teacher Librarian

Term 1 is well underway and there has been lots of Primary Library use for research and recreational reading as well as the Board Games Club and Reading Clubs.

We have lots of new books in the Primary Library, here are details of just a few.

Lost and Found by Jean Little. A short read of 82 pages but an interesting story about Lucy who has moved to a new town and is feeling lonely until she meets a friendly little dog which may – or may not – be a stray.  Her parents allow her to keep him until they find his owner but she has mixed feelings about whether she wants to find them. She wonders what would be best for the little dog whom she has grown to love. Should she really seek the owners or not? Read the book and find out.

Rudyard Kipling’s Just so stories in a Puffin Classic paperback. The stories are unique and inspired and whether you are reading The elephant’s child, The cat who walked by himself, How the camel got his hump or How the alphabet was made for the first time or refreshing your memory of them you will be enchanted by the original illustrations by Rudyard Kipling in this 172-page paperback book located in the Primary Library at JF CLA KIP.

Wagstaffe, the wind-up boy by Jan Needle. This is an amusing quirky story about Wagstaffe, a boy with a mechanical middle powered by a spring. At 165 pages this is not a quick read as the text is dense. JF NEE

The second book in the Underworlds series,  When monsters escape by Tony Abbott, is now in the Library for those keen readers who so enjoyed book one The battle begins. It is located on shelves at JF ABB, and continues the same theme in this fictional battle against creatures from Greek, Icelandic and Norse mythology.

Book 1 of a new series by Andy Briggs. The Inventory: Iron Fist.

Hidden under a small suburban town, the Inventory is a collection of the most incredible technology the world has NEVER seen: invisible camouflage, HoverBoots, indestructible metals, and the deadly war robot Iron Fist. When the collector breaks into The Inventory to steal the iron fist technology, Dev, Lot and Mason are trapped inside, becoming The Inventory’s only defence. What can they do to stop these dangerous weapons from falling into evil hands? JF BRI
