[Melanie] Hi! My name is Melanie, and I'm with the
Plano Public Library.
Spring is here, so why not teach your kiddos 
about spring
through this brilliantly-illustrated book that explores
frogs leaping, geese waddling, minnows scattering?
It's a Caldecott Medal winner, and it's entitled
"In the Small, Small Pond" by Denise Fleming
and it's a book you don't wanna miss.
This book would be great for ages 2-6
but any age would enjoy it.
Don't forget to check out this book and more like it
on our Libby and Overdrive apps, plus you 
can stream this book on Kanopy Kids
by going to our website.
[Andrea] Hi, my name is Andrea with the 
Plano Public Library.
And today I wanted to talk to y'all about the author
Jan Thomas.
She writes mostly Early Readers, so those are books
to help you get ready to read on your own.
What I like about her books is that they're
very funny.
They've got the same cast of characters, so you
see a lot of mouse, a lot of pig, a lot of cow,
a lot of duck, and they're all very silly.
Some of my favorites are "Is That Wise, Pig?"
and "A Birthday for Cow", and my absolute favorite
is "The Dog House."
So that is Jan Thomas; we've got her items
available physically and in our online collection
on Libby or Overdrive. 
So I hope you give her a try. Thanks for watching!
[Amy C] Hi, my name is Amy from 
Plano Public Library.
Today I want to share one Chinese philosophy 
book, "Liao-Fan's Four Lessons".

[Sarah] Hi, I'm Sarah with the 
Plano Public Library.
And today I'd like to tell you about an author,
Neil Gaiman.
Gaiman is a very prolific writer, writing in a multitude 
of formats, genres, and for every age group.
His stories typically mix fantasy with creepy and
supernatural elements, but still have some comedy
and whimsy in them to keep them light and fun.
He has written picture books, junior fiction,
young adult fiction, adult fiction, adult nonfiction,
and if you don't like any of those, he has also
written graphic novels for every age group.
Many of these have been turned into movies
or TV shows, so you might be familiar with some
of his works already.
To find these and more, check out the Libby and
Overdrive apps.
[Erik] Hi, I'm Erik with the Plano Public Library, 
and today I wanna share with you
the works of the great Terry Pratchett.
Sir Terry is probably best known for his
international bestseller "Good Omens" as well as 
the wildly popular Discworld series.
Now, the Discworld books are the perfect blend of 
comedy and fantasy with just the right touch
of soul and social consciousness added for good
measure, but if you're not in the mood
for a 41-book series, then I might suggest
"Good Omens", a book he co-wrote with
author Neil Gaiman, and it's been turned into
an equally popular and wonderful miniseries
available on Amazon Prime.
Young or old, Sir Terry has written a book or series
just for you.
And he's available in all formats,
and many of his works have been dramatized
so he's out there in whatever way
you want to experience him. 
And I do heartily recommend the experience.
Thanks for watching, and we'll see you soon.
