Before we begin a new month, it's time to take a look at another book. Goodness, that sentence sounds like the theme song from Reading Rainbow. Does anyone remember that program?

"Miss Peabody, I do so hate to interrupt your work, but an urgent message has just arrived that requires immediate attention. Would you join me for a moment so we may speak privately?"
Happy reading and happy Friday!
Reading Rainbow was a favorite of mine too!!
ReplyDeleteI borrowed my 9-year old son's current read to share in the comments. This is a super fun mystery book for kids and one that's been read more than once!
"Voices sounded, but no one was there to hear them."
Treasure On Spy Glass Hill
by: Paul B. Ricchuiti.
Awesome! I'm so excited that you loved that show too! :) And I love that first line...perfect line for the beginning of a mystery. Chilling!

ReplyDeleteI can't wait to read this book! Happy Monday!
DeleteI we used to watch Reading Rainbow!! Always waited for them to say Jessica when they looked into the mirror.
ReplyDeleteI know...I wanted them to say Heather. :) Happy Monday!
DeleteI've never even heard of Reading Rainbow. :-)
ReplyDeleteI have the first line from Over Maya Dead Body on my blog today, but I’m going to share the first line from another great read about to release, Susan May Warren’s “A Matter of Trust”:
“Gage Watson blamed the trouble on the bright, sunny day.”
Oh, you should totally look Reading Rainbow up on YouTube. It's for kids, but it is such an educational show when it comes to reading and loving books. Happy Monday!
DeleteJen is a favorite! I have fits of giggles every time I read one! Happy 4th weekend!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to read this book! Happy Monday and Happy 4th of July!
