| Letter from Booker T. Worm |
It is soooooooo rainy here today. The entire Worm family is trying to stay out of the puddles! This is quite a task. We instead are going to just curl up with some books --- and read the day away. Have you ever done that?
As promised, we are back this week with a full roundup of new books. There are so many new books to share with you.
By the way if you cannot see our snazzy new newsletter, complete with pictures of book covers, go to the link at the bottom of my letter to see our newsletter in color. For kids on AOL with Kids Only accounts, we cannot send you newsletters with graphics, so this link is your ticket to see the pictures that we have added.
And without further ado...our lineup for the week...

IMAGINE: THE GIRL IN THE PAINTING
Combining beautiful works of art with clever essays on the story that each painting holds, readers can let their imaginations fly as they reach into their own hearts and minds to share the feelings these paintings inspire. Each artist and painting is discussed along with suggestions for paths to explore as you view the paintings, making this a wonderful experience for parents and children to share.
