The best part for me everyday is when students come in and say, "Wow, look at all the dots!" Then they start reading the titles of the books on the dots and then even better, they start LOOKING for those books on the shelves! Pretty cool if you ask me! What book did you write down on one of the dots? From, Mrs. Hembree Dear Rasmus,

Your dot display is awesome I think I might have to make a dot display in my room. The book I have read in 2012 is Cabin Fever :) and Geronimo Stilton which were awesome books and I noticed something both of these books are set in America. Interesting question Mrs Hembree I have actually not heard of the Obliteration Room. From your pal, BB. Dear Mrs Hembree,

Our Seattle weather got on your local news in Australia? Thank you for your concern. I was able to drive home safely and had no issues. Many of the roads were clearn which was a nice surprise. Using chains is a top-notch method for getting grip, and I try to avoid putting on chains at all costs! I can't do it, and if I need chains, I probably just need to stay home! So far, 4 wheel drive works for me. It's really unusual for us to get a big snow storm, so I guess that's why we are on our national news. We don't have all the proper snow removal equipment, and if you combine that with thousands of steep hills and inexperienced snow drivers, you have quite the recipe for a driving disaster! People just abandon their cars in the middle of roads and walk home! Crazy! You asked a very hard question. Which books of the 44 I have read this year has been my favorite so far? I really enjoyed Bun Bun Button, a picture book about the relationship between a little girl and her grandmother by Patricia Polacco. It reminded me of the wonderful times I spent with my grandmother. I also enjoyed Diamond Willow, which is a middle grade book told in diamond shaped poems. Many of the others are books I'm reading as part of a Newbery and Caldecott challenge. They are "good for me" books! As a librarian, I think it would be good for me to have read these award winning books. Some I like, and some I don't! Enjoy your warm weather! Snowy in Seattle, Mrs. Hembree Dear AA,

My hubby was just saying he saw it on our local news about the amount of snow your having. I do remember when we used to go to the snow my dad would have to place chains on the car wheels to enable more grip. Well done Mrs Hembree for reading 44 books. What has been your favourite so far Mrs Hembree? From your friend down under, AA. @ Mrs Hembree,

I will take a photo of it and send it to you later this week. I love To Kill a Mockingbird as well. I re-read it last summer. Do you watch the movie as well? We are having a snowstorm and I will be leaving school soon. I hope my commute home is not too terrible. When we get snow in hilly Seattle, it is a bit of a nightmare. Snowy in Seattle, Mrs. Hembree I have read 44 books so far on my goal, so I am happy with that. Dear AA,

I thought it would be a rather interesting installation. She has a series of exhibitions there with the dot concept. It sure is making our library very colorful! Great to hear from you!

I was wondering Mrs Hembree could you please fill in a dot for me. For the book which I love to re read over and over and have once again re read and finished is called To Kill a Mocking Bird. Also thank you for the interest information about the Japanese artist. I found it very interesting. Your dotty wall looks awesome and I must say your doing an awesome job with your reading as I have noticed you are well on your way of reaching your goal of reading. Well done.
