I’ve decided to reblog this post because this being an Olympic year, I thought it might be fun to revisit.  I happen to LOVE the Olympics! So I’ve been doing the Olympics theme this summer with my preschoolers.  You would think that there are lots of books available about the Olympics. And there are,  but hardly any of them are appropriate for twos and threes.  About the only one I’ve discovered is from The Backyardigans! Anyway, I’m enjoying this theme {Read More}

Unconventional Librarian Mozart

I love classical music.  I have been listening to classical music since I was a child.  I dabbled in music growing up but didn’t have the determination to practice like I needed to.  Nevertheless, I always listened.  To be sure, I had my favorite pieces and composers.  And believe it or not, some of my favorites included opera.  Yep, you heard me right, opera. Why opera? Because opera is funny.  Opera is expressive. There are fights, romances, deception, parties, costumes, {Read More}
