Surrey Christian School Book Awards 2010

After 30 years, the Canadian Children's Book Centre is moving its annual TD Canadian Children's Book Week from November to April. This is Canada's largest festival celebrating Canadian children's authors, illustrators, books and the importance of reading. For the past 17 years we have tied into this celebration by giving out a Surrey Christian School Book Award to a favourite book publish each year. We will continue this tradition in November each year. Giraffe and Bird by Rebecca Bender is the first book we have read.

Soooo Much Going ON!

Winter Reading Suggestions!

Series? Of course! An oldie but goodie is RedWall by Brian Jacques. Check out this link ... http://www.redwall.org/ for more info. If you ever watched the shows, FORGET THEM! The books are about 839.7 bazillion times better!

Another great series for those who like horses.... Heartland! Again, if you have only ever watched this on TV, delete that memory and try the books because they are better! Weblink = http://www.laurenbrookefans.com/biography.htm

If you are not that into animals but you like mysteries, try Margaret Peterson Haddix's "Among the..." (Shadowchildren) series. Weblink = http://www.haddixbooks.com/home.html
A great book trailer to get you interested in the series... http://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=margaret+peterson+haddix+you+tube&docid=1425913676162&FORM=VIRE1#
