Jessica has been bringing in stacks of books from the library. When one pile has been read, re-read and discussed, she returns the books and comes in with a new delicious, juicy stack to read. When friends find out she has a new stack, they go nuts. “Read the library book!” we hear. This morning, with a new stack of library books within their line of vision, most of our Wee Friends sat for 30+minutes to listen to Jessica read book after book.
