There sure are a lot of things going on in April! Aside from School Library Month (see our last post), it's also National Poetry Month. We have a bunch of books on display to check out in our library to celebrate. If you're normally not into poetry, you might want to try a "novel in verse." In these books, there's a story/plot unfolding just like in a regular novel-- but they're quick reads because the text is written in poem form. You might want to try Shark Girl by Kelly Bingham, Love that Dog or Hate that Cat by Sharon Creech, or The Red Umbrella by Christina Diaz Gonzalez.
As for online stuff, you might want to check out these great sites:
