Holiday Books on The Point with Mindy Todd
Mindy, Melanie, and I discussed Thanksgiving, Hanukkah, and Christmas books this morning on The Point. If you missed it, you can listen at 7:00 PM tonight (WCAI, 90.1 FM) or online anytime! If you want to see what my sixth grade mouse looks like, which is now a Christmas ornament, WCAI has posted a photo on their Facebook page! A Katharine Lee Bates Christmas poems update … her book Fairy Gold includes five Christmas poems. We have a copy of the book in our Katharine Lee Bates collection, or you can read it online here.
