Pre-school storytelling sessions start up again in February.  Hastings and Havelock North branches will be holding theirs on Wednesdays at 10.30 am from 8th and 15th respectively.  Flaxmere's session is on Thursdays at 10.30 am. 

We look forward to seeing you there!

Jack from Hastings reported in last week that he has been reading Killer Kaleidoscope by J.E. Bright; illustrated by Erik Doescher, Mike de Carlo and Lee Loughridge.  Jack gave this 4 stars.

Many thanks for reporting in on the last day Jack.  This sounds like a very hard but colourful adventure for The Flash, but he won in the end!  

My Report in: this is about a man called kaleidoscope, he wears these rainbow clothes and tricks people into hurting other people. then flash comes to rescue them but kaleidoscop hypnotizes flash into hurting the people he saved. next flash got his memory back and put kaleidoscope in jail! 

Ethan from Havelock North reported in last week that he has been reading Alvin and the Chipmunks: A Chipmunk family Christmas by John Vitti, adapted by Susan Hill.

Many thanks for sending this in Ethan.  The Chipmunks are such fun I think they are favourites with everyone.  Who can name all three Chipmunks?

My Report in: I especially liked the bit when they were tucked into bed. Also they sang a Christmas song for Dave. The Chipmunks are my favourite.

James from Hastings has been reading Meet the superhero squad by Lucy Rosen, and has given this 2 stars.

Many thanks for sending us your detailed report-in James. Do you have a favourite character?
