The Help – Kathryn Stockett

I do declare - Minny's Sweet Chocolate Pie Recipe

I loved this book! It made me laugh out loud, it made me cry, it made me smile.  As one of the students said to me when she saw me reading this, “The Help is the kind of book you wish you could read again and still enjoy it as if you were reading it for the first time.”

I don't have enough time as I would like to sit down and read a book, but… this book came with me EVERYWHERE, just in case I got a chance to flip another page. I knew I had a problem when i tucked it under my arm to take with me checking the sheep at lambing!!!!

 

Read it before you see the movie, I promise it will make you smile too.

 

The Ghost of Miss Annabel Spoon – Aaron Blabey

spoon If you are a big fan of Aaron Blabey’s books Pearl Barley and Charlie Parsley, Sunday Chutney and Stanley Paste you will thoroughly enjoy the delightful tale of The  Ghost of Miss Annabel Spoon. 

The poor townsfolk of the township of Twee are cursed by the ghost of Miss Annabel Spoon, her dresses were shabby and her moods always crabby! Enough was enough the people decided, she was to be removed.  But a delightful character named Herbert Kettle decided to visit Miss Annabel Spoon…But although scared to death, Herbert held tight his breath and he opened Miss Annabel's door……………

Fantastic story with beautiful illustrations.  One to definitely add to your home collection.
