Welcome to the 2nd week of the 2015-2016 school year! This is the second edition of New Book Tuesdays. Here are the new selections available in the Media Center this week.

New Picture Book:

Click, Clack, Peep! by Doreen Cronin and Betsy Lewin. Here's another hilarious installment by the author and illustrator of Click, Clack, Moo: Cows That Type. You know I love my farm animals!

"Farmer Brown, oh-so-sleepy, has a new, adorable—and LOUD—duckling to deal with in this addition to the award-winning Click, Clack series from the New York Times bestselling team who brought you Click, Clack, Moo and Click, Clack, Boo! There’s more trouble on the farm, but Duck has nothing to do with it, for once. This time the trouble is a four-ounce puff of fluff who just won’t go to sleep, and whose play-with-me “peeps” are keeping the whole barnyard awake with him. Peep! Peep! Peep..." -image and blurb from simonandschuster.com

New Chapter Book:

The Loch Ness Punster - Book seven in the 43 Old Cemetery Road series by Kate Klise.

We added book six to the Media Center last October - Greetings from the Graveyard.

Both books are Junior Library Guild Selections.

"Great Scot! A telegram has just arrived at Spence Mansion with news that twelve-year-old Seymour Hope has inherited a castle in Loch Ness, Scotland. It could be the perfect summer vacation house for Seymour and his parents, Olive C. Spence and Ignatius B. Grumply. But Iggy wants nothing to do with the castle. Why? Because it belonged to his uncle Ian Grumply, world-famous psychiatrist and world's worst punster. So while Iggy stays home to write, Seymour and Olive set off for Scotland, each with a secret. This is a story that will make you feel lochy to be alive in a world full of laughter, love, and legendary surprises." -image and blurb from kateandsarahklise.com

Level 2 readers are written for developing readers starting to read informational texts and feature between 500 and 1200 words with more complex sentences, challenging vocabulary, and infographics, maps, and charts to develop informational text skills.

"Developing readers hop into the world of amazing amphibians with Fabulous Frogs. How do frogs' bodies work? How do frogs behave, and why are they so important to our global ecosystem? All of these questions and more will be answered for budding herpetologists.

A companion digital book poses evidence-based questions through mapping and charting interactive features, videos, quizzes, vocabulary "slams," and "Serious-or-silly?" writing activities." -image and blurb from Scholastic.com
