Picks:

A Cat Named Haiku – Cats always make for a good read for kids.  This title puts a twist on the usual kid’s title, but using the Japanese form of poety called haiku to tell the story.  Haiku is a cat with a perchance for mischeif.  This story tells of a day in his life, where he learns a lesson in friendship, all in the 7 syllable-5 syllable-7 syllable format of haiku.  This just sounds so intriguing, and will a cat as the subject, you just know it will be good.  It’s also a good introduction to the Japanese form of poetry in a way that kids can relate to and enjoy.

Betty & Veronica Double Digest – Girls CAN be geeks too!  In this issue, the "nerdettes" get to help the school improve their scores on science, math, technology, and more.  Other stories include Betty and Veronica skating for charity, and Archie having to step in for a magician hired to do a magic show for charity that seems to have stepped out.  The first story in this digest is the one that really deserves the most attention.  Girls can and do enjoy the sciences and aren’t given nearly enough encouragement or credit for it.  Any story that portrays girls and science in a positive light should be given to every girl to show them yes they can!
