Summary

Madison Wunderkind is a sweet, honest girl, who always seems to find herself in trouble with the principal. But this time she's not alone. It all started three days earlier, when Sophia, the most popular fifth-grade girl at Gator Elementary, asked Madison to hang out and plan this year's talent show. Instantly, Madison had become Little Miss Popular. But what Madison soon discovered was that being Little Miss Popular wasn't all it was cracked up to be. Her best friends were ignoring her. Her brothers were angry at her. And her guardian angel, GA, was irritated by her snobbish attitude. And if things couldn't get more messed up for Madison, everything that could go wrong at the talent show did, sparking Principal Dimples to find out why! Find out what happens at Gator Elementary's Talent Show. Will GA be able to help Madison? Or will Madison become Little Miss Lonely? Also, try and find one of GA's feathers in each picture!

Library Challenge for Pet Month at The Poppins Book Nook

Wow it is hard to believe that this is the last Poppins Book Nook for 2013!

This month’s theme was all about pets and it posed a big challenge! Nearly every trip to the library involves checking out at least a half dozen animal related books.

For this theme the books themselves became our activity.

Because I knew we couldn’t choose one I set the kids a library challenge. I asked them to make up a list of all the pets they could think of. We took our lists to the library and announced their task: Find a book that was about or featured each one of the animals on the list.

Mini Piwi, 3.5, had a time searching for books on the ipad catalogue search spot the library recently installed. I was really proud to see Miss K showing her little sis how to find books using the Dewey system

We ended up with quite a pile!

Here are our favorites:

Valentino Finds a Home

The Mixed-Up Chameleon

10 Little Hermit Crabs

Ferrets (Animal Planet Pet Care Library)

I'm a Frog! (An Elephant and Piggie Book)

I have collected all our pet activities together you can check them out on our 'All about Pets' board.

Be sure to take a look at all the pet related fun linked up at the end of this post! This month the Poppins Book Nook bloggers are giving away a copy of a National Geographic Animal Encyclopedia!
