Surprise, surprise!  The book pick of the week is our ninth annual One Book, One School selection.  In Ben Yokoyama and the Cookie of Doom, eight year-old Ben loves all sorts of things, including noodles, architecture, comic books, and more!  When he reads his first fortune cookie (“Live each day like it’s your last”) Ben takes it seriously and makes a list as if it is his last day!  It’s a great blend of humor, friendship, and thinking about all that’s important. The illustrations are great as well! 🙂 All families and staff members will receive a copy on Friday!
