Looking for sight word picture books
by Lorry Traver 12 Aug '24

12 Aug '24

Hi all, I am looking for sight word recommendations, something besides BOB books, Dick and Jane, Mo Willems, and any sight word workbooks. I am truly looking for picture books or early readers that have a lot of sight words for Kindergarteners, but still have an engaging story, something fun for the kids and parents to read together. Thank you for your help ahead of time! -- *"I think books are like people, in the sense that they'll turn up in your life when you most need them." - Emma Thompson* *Lorry Traver* Public Services Librarian Brandon Township Library 248-627-1460

Book of Unknown Origin
by Candy Mahoney 12 Aug '24

12 Aug '24

Would you be able to send this out on the list? One of our patrons returned this book. It has an RFID tag that brings up the same code that's written on the flyleaf. There are library spine labels but not a single identifying stamp or sticker. I'm curious if anyone recognizes where it might be from. The patron thinks she got it through our library, though I'm not sure how that can be possible.
