Since there are so many lovers of Babymouse, I thought I would put up a separate section for you to discuss why you like it so much. Describe what the books are about. Maybe, you could get others interested by sharing some of your favorite parts.

WELCOME SCARY BOOK FANS
I am so glad that so many of you are chatting back and forth with each other about books. I noticed that many of you are interested in scary books. Have any of you checked out the American Chillers series? Also, this year I bought a few books by Mary Downing Hahn. She is a ghost story writer. Let us all know if you have read any of these.

CONGRATULATIONS TO THE WINNERS OF THE FIRST ROUND OF THE BATTLE OF THE BOOKS!!!
The first rounds of the Battle of the Books were held on May 11th and May 12th. Eighteen 4th grade teams and twelve 5th grade teams competed to see who knew the most about the 25 books they have been reading since November. The totals have been calculated and the winning teams are: The Awesome Readers, The Reading Knockouts, The Golden Girls, The Reading Warriors, The Book Dreamers, Girl Survivors and The Apple Blossoms. These teams will now move on to the final round, which will be held the first week in June. Good luck to all of the teams!!! I am so proud of all of the players for their hard work over the past five months. Please post your comments about the competition!!! I would love to read how you think it went. I was so happy to see so many children excited about reading. Watching you work together in your teams was wonderful. I know many of you are disappointed that you are not moving on to the final round. You should be glad that you got to read some really good books and experienced being part of a competition.
