4/13/20  We shared the book Full of Beans by Jennifer Holm

This wonderful novel takes place during the Great Depression.  You meet Beans Curry and follow him through his attempts to earn money for his family, learn to accept responsibility for his actions and how Key West was turned into a tourist town.  Each of the characters are well developed.  I suggest this is a read for a 4th grader and older.

Do you want to go on a Bear hunt?  The library wants you to know we are participating and a bear sat on a bench to read a book. Place a picture of a bear on your door, in your window or someplace where people can find the bear when they go on a bear hunt. Good luck on your hunt!!
