With this book being on the history of cotton candy, this would be a great way to introduce a STEM discussion. In a classroom I would use this book to introduce activities of inventions and students to possibly create their own new thing.
pickThis cute read aloud is the history of cotton candy! I love how in this story takes readers on a trip to the fair to see the brand new invention of cotton candy along with companion inventions like electricity. This is very informative and will definitely keep children engaged.
pickWell, it‘s official: I am glad that I was not born into an empire of any kind and that I am not a billionaire. 😬Shout out to my accountant dad and bank manager mom for raising me with love and security and obscurity, and to all my household bills that require my attention like a normal person.
Still, I do love me some rich-folk drama in my reading life! Felt the author was getting judgy by the end, but overall just well-told good dirt here.
I am a huge STL Cardinals fan and loved this book.
The author also wrote “Friday Night Lights“, if your familiar with that.

A pretty good reading month for me!
If I had to pick a favorite I would say…
Dial A for Aunties!

pick🐦⬛This middle grade book takes place in St. Louis in the early 1800s so of course I had to read it on our trip. It was the perfect choice - after a day reading about the history of St. Louis it was fun to go there in a fiction world and see it all brought to life.
