Diary of Saxton B. Little

Comments   

 

 

Welcome to the Children's Corner of the Saxton B! 

Hello everyone! My name is Megan Quigley and I am the Children's Librarian at the Saxton B. I hope this website will be helpful to you as you explore our books and programs!

Come and check out one of our new books...

 

 

If you liked Not A Box, you'll love this follow up book with a young pig who shows some of the many things that a stick can be with a little imagination.

 

 

Best friends Jack Truck and Dump Truck Dan love to smash things but sometimes their antics get them into trouble. One day they meet Wrecking Crane Rosie. Are Jack and Dan's smashing days over? 

 

Or an old favorite...

 

 

Like Oliva? Eloise? Then meet Nancy, who believes that more is ALWAYS better when it comes to being fancy. From the top of her tiara down to her sparkly studded shoes, Nancy is determined to teach her family a thing or two about being fancy. Come check her out today!

 

 

 

If you would like to recommend something that you've read, email me at mquigley@columbiactlibrary.org with the name of the book, the author, and a brief description of why you liked it, and I will post it our website!
