Louise the Adventures of a Chicken

Travelling is another venue for audio books. I love Kate DiCamillo's books, and this book: Louise, the Adventures of A Chicken won this year's Caldecott winner for children's audio books. The Stowe Library in Vermont is where I started listening to children's books on cassette tapes (all those years ago), so when I returned this year, for old time sake, I listened to this one. It is hysterical! Hilarious! Fun! it is only 20 minutes, but I have to go get myself a copy to re-listen to this. Louise is a French hen who has Indiana Jones adventures - and the sound effects alone are terrific. But the story is delightful and will captivate all listeners.

BOOKSTORE SALE THIS WEEKEND

Just a reminder about the books on tape (audio cassettes) that will be on sale in the Friends' Bookstore this weekend - it turns out there are literally 1000 of them so there will be a HUGE selection to chose from. This is a great chance to find some of those books you have always meant to read. We will look forward to seeing you there.

Our next BOOK sale is the SUNDAY the 18th of April. Again there will be a large selection of used books, albums, tables, art work, encyclopedias, etc. Remember if you are a Friend of the Library you get early admission, which can be important to find that special book.
