  • 4-5 Summer Reading Lists 2009
    Grades The Pingry School Short Hills Campus 4-5 Summer Reading Lists 2009 Postcards to the Library June 2009 Dear Parents, The Pingry School Library has a tradition of providing summer reading book lists for our students. We strongly encourage them to read a selection of books from their list during the summer. Reading for pleasure during this time will continue the development of reading skills so that no ground is lost over the summer and will help to instill a love of reading that will last a lifetime. Attached is the suggested summer reading list for your child’s grade level. Reading levels vary within a grade, so there are both challenging selections and easy-to-read titles on the list. Students may choose to read any title from the list and may read as many books as their schedules allow. Students are not expected to read all the books on the list. The list is divided into fiction, nonfiction, poetry, folktales, and biographies and the titles are annotated to help in the selection process. You may wish to read other books by the same author that are not on the list. Hopefully, every child will find something to spark their interest. Please encourage the use of the reading log in the back of the booklet to record the titles of all the books read during the summer. We ask that every student send picture postcards to the library letting us know the titles of the books they are reading and how they are enjoying their vacation. See the next page for details on the Postcards to the Library Program.

One Hundred Books: A journey through a century of John Newbery Award books by Ty Sassaman Butler University MFA Creative Nonfiction 2019 2 Introduction A Gold Coin in the Blue Sky: The Announcement Frederic Melcher stood in the hot sun of one of the longest summer days of the year, June 22, 1921, holding his hat at his chest, waiting in line to speak at the American Library Association’s annual meeting in Swampscott, Massachusetts. Though he waited patiently, the air buzzed with speculation as to what he would announce. At the annual meeting only a two years earlier, Melcher had introduced “Children’s Book Week” to the American Library Association, which he had created with Franklin W. Matthews, chief librarian of the Boy Scouts of America. The recognition of a Children’s Book Week suggested, for the first time, that libraries devote shelf space to children’s books and raise awareness of these books in their collections.

  • Invincible Lousia
    INVINCIBLE LOUSIA CORNELLIA MEIGS WINNER OF THE NEWBERY MEDAL CHAPTER ONE Damask Roses THE HIGHROAD WHICH STRETCHES FROM within the State of Pennsylvania down to the Delaware River becomes, as it nears Philadelphia, the main street of Germantown It was a well-traveled road long before the Revolution. But even as late as the year 1832, it was still unimproved and often so deep in mud, that, so the residents of Germantown said, it was necessary to saddle a horse to get from one side of it to the other. Not all of its roughness and its wet, however, could interfere with the joyful stride of a triumphant young father who tramped the difficult mile, on a cold November day, from his house to the big dwelling at Wyck, home of his dearest friends. Nothing could stay Bronson Alcott as he hurried breathless, to the Haines house, as he burst in at the door to tell the great news. He had a new daughter, a lusty, lively, altogether remarkable daughter, and he had come to take all the Haines children over to see the new baby. Back they all went with him, trooping along the highway, buzzing with talk and questions, all seven of the small Haineses. They stood, presently, in an awed, respectful circle around the small, red, but extremely sound and vigorous baby, who, so it was settled even then, was to be called Louisa May Alcott. It was, therefore, not upon New England, but upon the snow-wrapped Pennsylvania countryside, that Louisa looked out at her first vision of the world Low, rounded hills, groups of white- powdered pine trees winding valleys where a black line showed how the water tan, and where smooth, glittering slopes stretched up to patches of woodland -- all these were before her eyes and her brisk, young mother's, as they sat at the tall window and looked abroad upon the white- ness of Louisa's first winter.
