This month we’re reading and discussing The Dictionary of Lost Words by Pip Williams

“Inspired by actual events, author Pip Williams has delved into the archives of the Oxford English Dictionary to tell this original story. …a delightful, lyrical, and deeply thought-provoking celebration of words and the power of language to shape the world.”

The book club is currently full, but if you are interested in joining, send an email to Debra at littlebeebookshop@gmail.com, and you will be added to a wait list :-)

Specializing in silly stories and funny drawings for kids, author/illustrator AJ Smith is passionate about crafting books that will fuel a love of reading. Over the past 20 years, he has scribbled up creative projects for exciting clients like Cartoon Network, Highlights, Kids Can Press, Nat Geo Kids, Nickelodeon, Sesame Street, and Simon & Schuster. AJ lives a bit north of Boston, where he also works as a high school art educator. See more from AJ on his website and follow him on Instagram!

Catnip Mouse is a fast-paced picture book full of tantrums (and tolerance) - a hilarious read-aloud full of (super) silly word play that will have kids snorting with laughs. But it’s also a look at a child’s need for approval and the importance of patience.
