Mystery Reader Thursday

​Janie's mom, Liz, read two books to us this afternoon on the front lawn. The children were delighted to hear a book near and dear to their hearts: Rosie Revere Engineer, and a new book for many but well loved by Janie: My Dog Laughs.
Thank you for being our Mystery Reader!

"Why is she getting upset?" -Janie
"Because it crashed...Never give up if something doesn’t work." -Liz
