Children's Book of the Week: 18

This week's book comes not only from our rather extensive library of Rosemary Wells' charming creations, but straight out of my very own childhood. I loved this book when I was little, and if you haven't read it, well, then, shame on you. You need it, especially if you have more than one child. It's called

Noisy Nora
by Rosemary Wells

This book follows little Nora around her house as she comes to realize the difficulty that comes with being the middle child. Poor Nora is ignored because mother and father are either helping Kate with her homework or feeding baby Jack. She finally has had enough and, after being scolded repeatedly for making too much noise, decides she better just leave home. It's adorable, so fun to read aloud, and the kids always love it.
