SOL 6/31: What's in the Brown Bag?

My favorite brown bag experiences occur when I pop out of my car, retrieve a bag with my name on it, and head home to savor the contents. You may be thinking that I've just picked up a take-out meal from a favorite restaurant. No, the contents of the brown bag are for my consumption, my daughter's consumption, and my grandchildren's consumption. And this past week, maybe even one item for my son-in-law's consumption. But the contents are not food, they are books! Stopping by the library to pick up my latest holds is my favorite out-of-the-house experience. 

Come stroll with me through this week's delectable brown bag.

For my daughter who loves Christopher Paolini

 

 

I requested All Thirteen after the ALA Youth Media Awards.

Look at all the medal love on the cover! Daughter took it home 

to see if son-in-law wants to read it.

Our book club read Homegoing last year so I've been waiting for 

Yaa Gyasi's latest novel. My daughter recommended 

I'm Still Here and I'm glad it's finally here (after a long wait).

For grandsons Jack and Robby 

They loved The Little Snowplow Wishes for Snow.

Jack knows how to check the black flap or inside back cover

for additional titles and asked me to request this book.

 He was thrilled that The Little Snowplow was waiting 

for him at Grandma's house on Friday.

 

We can request "surprise bags" for specific age groups. Look at the board books

that arrived in our latest bag. How did they know that my grandsons are waiting for a baby brother? I fell in love with May We Have Enough to Share. The Tadpole to Frog book uses turn the flaps to show the growth of a tadpole. 

Rain Forest is brand new! The flaps haven't even been opened yet.

Robby's working on colors, so Spot the Dinosaurs is spot on for him.

 

I hope you've enjoyed this illustrated walk

through our latest brown bag of library treats!
