Anita Silvey's Children's Book Almanac Blog

Check out Anita Silvey's Children's Book Almanac Blog where she gives daily children's book recommendations. Discover the stories behind  classic children's books and new books on their way to becoming classics. Find out the story behind each book’s tie to a siginificant day or holiday. A few days ago, Anita talked about The Tub People by Pam Conrad with our very own children's librarian Lizzy Healy (who we are so lucky to have!).  Anita writes, "When I checked this book out of the library, Lizzie, the new children’s librarian, couldn’t wait to show me a page—of all the family looking for the Tub Child. ‘I remember this scene so well from my childhood,’ she said. The Tub People is that kind of book—whenever you encounter it you are unlikely to forget it."
