This book is about two Twits. Their names are Mr. and Mrs. Twit. The Twits are two mean, horrible, ugly creatures that play nasty tricks on each other. As an example, one time Mrs. Twit put worms in Mr. Twit’s spaghetti. They also have monkeys for pets.

They went to buy some guns to shoot the birds. Find out what happens next (that means read the book)…
I give this book a 2, out of 5 stars.
A First Visit to the Beach
This wordless story captures a little girl's endearing first visit to the beach. Although the girl is hesitant about the water at first, some splashing around and picking through shells cause her to grow quite fond of the beach. Drawn with flowing watercolors that portray the swelling waves of the ocean, this is a beautiful story that will captivate children and parents alike. Recommended for children 2 and up as the wordless pages require the reader to unravel the message behind the pictures.

A book that celebrates the author in all of us!
Thank you to patron, Jacob, who showed this book to me. Library Mouse, Sam, likes to write and illustrate books and leave them hiding in the library. When the librarian leaves him a note to invite him for Author Day something lovely and surprising happens!
A classic
The illustrations by Leonard Weisgard are spectacular and accompany a humorous story about how a bunny treats an egg and then how the hatchling treats the bunny when he is asleep. A great book for spring!
