Naked Mole Rats

I just discovered the most wonderful news. The LaGrange public library lets you check out 50 books at one time!!! How awesome is that! Our afterschool program is is desperate need of good books and now we have them, and the best thing they are FREE!!!! Monday afternoon we check out about 30 books including several by Mo Willems. We have now learned that Mo Willems not only has awesome pigeon books, but he has an awesome web site and even more awesome books! Yesterday we read The Naked Mole Rat Who Gets Dressed, and afterwards the kids designed their own clothes/costumes for their own naked mole rats. They seemed to have a good time. Thank goodness for fun, silly books. I hope we can help our kids realize reading really can be a fun thing! If you have never seen a naked mole rat, be aware, they are about the ugliest creature I have ever laid my eyes on. Thankfully ours were much cuter!
