THE Library CORNER
Scoop by Rene Gutteridge is a
delightfully funny book for light summer reading. "Channel 7 news team stumbles
onto a hot news story. Hugo Talley, the producer, is frantic to exploit it, but
a series of crises threaten to destroy his chances. With their odd-ball antics
and all-too-real foibles the team offers a hilarious look at the unexpected
effects of taking one's faith boldly into the work place." The Library has
other books by the author including
Boo, Boo Who? and
Boo Hiss.
The Broadmoor Legacy
is a new series of fiction by Tracie Peterson and Judith Miller.
In Book 1,
A Daughter's Inheritance, three
cousins, Amanda, Sophie, and Fanny receive legacies when their grandfather
dies. Book 2 is called
An Unexpected Love and deals
mainly with Sophie's life. Book 3,
A Surrendered Heart, completes
the series.
The Library has been given a number of children's books recently:
Quilt Country by
Lisa Cline-Ransome is a beautifully illustrated counting book using the theme of
quilting.
Big Racing Car and
Big Tractor by
Kay Barnes are over sized, well illustrated and should be a joy for little boys.
Tea for Ruby by
Sara Ferguson, the Duchess of York, is a small but elegant children's book about
a little girl, Ruby, who is invited to have tea with the Queen. Ruby has very
little dexterity and is usually tipping over things, spilling things or
otherwise involved in making an unintentional mess. There is a happy ending and
Ruby has a wonderful tea with her grandmother, the Queen.
