Two young library volunteers, Mary Wiltenberg and Tova Carlin, spent considerable time going through the Christmas books at the Kiosk.
Here are just a few of the ones they were enthusiastic about: The Cat on the Dovrefell: a Christmas Tale translated from the Norse by Sir John Webbe Dasent, illustrated by dePaola; Eric and the Christmas Hork by Hans Peterson; Miracle on 34th Street by Davies; A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens; How the Grinch Stole Christmas by Dr. Seuss; Babar and Father Christmas; The Beautiful Christmas Tree by Zolotow; and Madeline’s Christmas by Ludwig Bemelman. Leo Buscaglia’s new book, Seven Stories of Christmas, is beautifully illustrated and the stories will warm your heart. I just finished reading one of the best books I have read in a long time. White Palace (White Castle) by Glenn Saven mentions so many streets and places in St. Louis which are familiar. I’ve never been to Hugo’s Bar in “Dogtown” but many say they went there on an excursion after reading the book.
It is terribly funny and has an unusual love story with some steamy love scenes.
Although it is not a Christmas story, it has a lot to offer.
Our last story hour at 28th Ward Democratic Headquarters had to do with the fire department and Rose Flynn had Michael Rapp of Firehouse 20 as her guest.
The big, red firetruck drove up in the parking lot and all kinds of demonstrations took place.
On Dec. 5 at 11 a.m. Rose Flynn will have Christmas stories and there will be hot cocoa and cookies. Merry Christmas to all from the Kiosk and many thanks to all our patrons.
