Lucky for me my child just finished the "Insect Collection/Identification" project for science class this past fall. Since I knew that the school cannot keep them all, and some parents don't really want them to come home, I contacted the science teacher and was able to get it back for a terrific "Catch the Reading Bug" display. NOTE: It is preserved under glass with moth balls. As the Children’s Librarian at Pine Bush Area Public Library, I have the best time coming up with creative displays for the Summer Reading Program.

I have read 67 of the 81 (soon to be 82) books, and it has been the most rewarding experiences I've ever undertaken. Part of the challenge is finding the older, long-forgotten books. The biggest pleasure is reading something that is just as good as those on the NY Times Bestseller list.

(They are especially good for preschoolers) The Grouchy Ladybug, The Very Hungry Caterpillar, The Very Quiet Cricket, The Honeybee and the Robber, etc. Another great series is the "Diary of a Spider, Diary of a Worm, and Diary of a Fly" books. These are journals of the above critters and they are very funny. I was worried at first with this summer's theme, but it's growing on me.

Looking forward to some lazy summer days with a good book myself. :-) Hi Debbie, thanks so much for sharing your great summer reading idea!
