 Greetings from Hedgehog Books!
Can you believe that summer is almost over? As teachers, we've already started
getting our classrooms prepared. So, here is our back-to-school newsletter.
Good luck getting ready!

Book! Book! Book! All the animals want is a new book to read
because the children have gone to school. But the
librarian just can't seem to understand their requests:
"Baaah! Baaah!" says the goat.
"Neigh! Neigh!" whinnies the horse.
Only the hen knows exactly how to ask. But will she
ever get her turn?
Open this oinking, braying, brightly illustrated book and find out! And please remember to use animal voices to make this a special experience. If done correctly (ham it up!) you'll have little ones rolling in the aisles!

You Read to Me, I'll Read to You
Here's a book
With something new -
You read to me!
I'll read to you!
We'll read each page
To one another -
You'll read one side,
I the other.
This was a huge hit in our household. We started by trying out one story, and we were
having so much fun we ended up reading the entire book in one sitting!

Frindle Here is a great story about a remarkable teacher's belief
in the power of words and her student’s tenacity in
proving his point. It is a marvelous ride on the
battlefield of words. It is at times outrageous and
hilarious, but interestingly enough, it all COULD happen!
Our Special Feature this month...
Visit our homepage this month and you'll see our special feature: two books by Donna M. Jackson, The Bone Detectives. and Twin Tales. While we normally feature fiction books, these are ground breaking books for curious kids (and adults!) ages 9 and up.
Are you ready for school?
Our grade level reading lists can help you and your children choose the right books for those upcoming book reports!
I just can't wait to read the next one...

Books for me too???
Research has proven how important it is to model reading to children. Now at Hedgehog Books we're making that even easier. When you check out, just
click on "Yes, Show me the Grownup Books". You can also get there through links at the bottom of our home page or by clicking here. As much as we love children's books, we know there's nothing like curling up with a good book of our very own!
