Welcome to the B.J. Smith Library Mockingbird Book Blog

Teachers

Click on the word "comments" underneath each picture. Give us your thoughts about the book. If your class has any "connections" to the story, let us know about them. Feel free to discuss any story elements you would like to.

In order to see all 20 of the books, click on the title of the book you would like to comment on from the list of books on the right-hand side of the page.

Also, in a separate comment, if you would like to "go the extra mile", add your class's summary of the story, explaining the beginning, middle and end of the story.

To encourage your class to participate in posting to our Mockingbird Book Blog, you will receive a "coupon" for each comment contributed to the blog. The "coupons" will be placed in a drawing and the more coupons, the better your chance of winning. The prize? A $25.00 gift certificate to our Scholastic Book Fair in the spring! Let the blogging begin!

Jazz Baby

When Daddy puts a vinyl record labeled Jazz Baby on the turntable, the whole family gets into the sound, including the baby in his crib: "Brother's hands tap. Sister's hands snap. Itty-bitty Baby's hands CLAP-CLAP-CLAP!" The rhythmic text continues with everyone singing and dancing until finally it's a "snoozy-woozy baby" who has dropped off to sleep at last.
