Indian Paintbrush Nominees 2008-2009

Welcome to the Indian Paintbrush 2008-2009 Blog for Slade Elementary School. This blog is for teachers, librarians, students and parents to review the books nominated for the Wyoming Indian Paintbrush award. It's my first attempt at blogging: you'll see changes as I learn more. For example, since I'm using blogger.com, it looks like anyone can view the comments, but only those who have an account with google are able to make a contributing comment. I'll keep investigating.

Send me your comments at bossjanet@gmail.com and I'll add them to the blog. Be sure to sign your work, so I can give you credit! Scroll down the right column to contributors and you'll find my profile under Books2Read.

This blog is for current Indian Paintbrush nominees. I'll set up additional spots for other children's book reviews. If the the book is checked out from the Slade Library, you can check the Albany County Public Library catalog to see if the books are available.

the Invention of Hugo Cabret by Brian Selznick

Selznick, Brian - The Invention of Hugo Cabret

I haven't read this one yet, but looking forward to getting it. Here's the summary from the Albany County Public Library catalog:
Combining elements of picture book, graphic novel, and film, Caldecott Honor artist Selznick breaks open the novel form to create an entirely new reading experience in this intricate, tender, and spellbinding mystery
the official web site for the book:
