Halloween

With two days left until the big day, Ivy has some suggestions.  Be sure to hit up Barnes and Noble for their 50% off Halloween sale!

The Berenstein Bears:  Trick or Treat is an oldie but goodie.  Ivy finds the antics of the cubs endearing, and is quite enchanted with the idea that appearances can be deceiving.  As Brother and Sister head out for trick-or-treating, there is one house they will avoid - the house of old witch Miz McGrizz.  When Miz McGrizz opens the door of her gnarled old tree house, what will the cubs discover?

Ivy continues to adore the antics of Froggy.  In Froggy's Halloween, Froggy just cannot decide what he should be for Halloween.  When he finally decides upon his costume, the positive reaction from Frogilina and the other girls is a bit more than he can handle!  The trials and tribulations of being a young and handsome frog!

Room on the Broom

With Halloween fast approaching, it is time to review Halloween books!  Ivy just received a wonderful book for her birthday from one of her friends called Room on the Broom by Axel Scheffler.  Normally witches scare Ivy, but the illustrations are just so appealing.  An young witch and her cat are flying through the air when her hat blows away.  An adorable dog finds the hat, but wants to join them on the broom.  As more items fall off and more new friends join on the stick, the situation becomes more and more precarious.  Will the broomstick be able to fit all of the witch's new friends?  Find out!!

Amelia Bedelia and the Baby

Ivy just loves babies and is really looking forward to being a big sister.  She loves any book about babies.  In Peggy Parish's Amelia Bedelia and the Baby, Amelia has to babysit for a baby named Missy.  Since Amelia doesn't know much about babies, she is relived that Mrs. Lane leaves her a list.  As usual, Amelia misunderstands all of the directions.  The ensuing hilarity is a page turner for Ivy.  She constantly wants to play Amelia Bedelia and Missy.
