Event Details
oin us for Young Hoosier Book Club for grades 3-5! For the months of August - April, we will meet and discuss one of the Young Hoosier Intermediate Nominated books. In April, we will vote on our favorite and submit our votes to the Young Hoosier Book Committee. In order to be eligible for voting, a member must have participated in at least five meetings, or read at least five nominated books.
This month's book is "Ben Yokoyama and the Cookie of Perfection" by Matthew Swanson and Robbi Behr. When Ben's fortune cookie tells him that practice makes perfect, he refuses to settle for anything less. He demands better parents, superior hobbies, and a brand-new best friend, who might technically be a superhero. The pursuit of perfection is thrilling until Ben is forced to give up the things he loves most--including baseball, personal integrity, and his dog's enthusiastic kisses. Life lessons from a goldfish and a spine-tingling near-death experience help Ben realize that his flaws are also the keys to his greatest strengths--and that the people and things that make him happiest will always be perfectly imperfect.
Books can be checked out from the children's desk in advance of this club meeting. Registration is required, but walk-ins will be welcomed based on space availability.
