Building a gate for five pumpkins was inspired by the story. "Five Little Pumpkins," written and illustrated by Ben Mantle.
Students explored Keva Planks, which are new tools in the Library. These students worked together to build a bridge.
After listening to the story, "If I Built a Car", written and illustrated by Chris Van Dusen, Second Grade students designed their own car using Legos and described the unique characteristics that came with their car, such as a pool and even a kitchen!

Escape from Mr. Lemoncello's Library by Chris Grabenstein
Recommended for grades 3-8
When Kyle learns that the world's most famous game maker, Luigi Lemoncello, has designed the town's new library and is having an invitation-only lock-in on opening night, he's determined to be there! But the tricky part isn't getting into the library—it's getting out. Because when morning comes, the doors stay locked. Kyle and the other kids must solve every clue and figure out every secret puzzle to find the hidden escape route!
Wildfire by Rodman Philbrick
Picking up where we left off with grades 4-5
Flames race toward Sam Castine's summer camp as evacuation buses are loading, but Sam runs back to get his phone. Suddenly, a flash of heat blasts him as pine trees explode. Now a wall of fire separates Sam from his bus, and there's only one thing to do: Run for his life. Run or die.
Lungs burning, Sam's only goal is to keep moving. Drought has made the forest a tinderbox, and Sam struggles to remember survival tricks he learned from his late father. Then, when he least expects it, he encounters Delphy, an older girl who is also lost. Their unlikely friendship grows as they join forces to find civilization.
