61glnlshkjl-_sy451_bo1204203200_Mission Complete! Here’s Ethan’s last Book Look of his 2016 Daily Book Look Challenge — #366! The title of today’s book is A Poem for Peter: the Story of Ezra Jack Keats and the Creation of The Snowy Day (by Andrea Davis Pinkney). If you’re interested in donating this amazing book or other books to help ECBC build a library at CHOC Children’s Hospital, you can click here to access ECBC’s Wish List on Amazon.com.  Items purchased from this list will be sent directly to Ethan & Choco’s Book Club.

We are so deeply grateful for our December book donors (names mentioned in the video) as well as for everyone who watched Ethan’s videos and donated books this year. Ethan was hoping to receive an average of one book per day of the year, and we ended up with 1400 new hardcover books from Amazon customers for our Lending Library! What a completely awesome start we have for launching Phase 1 of ECBC in 2017!

Ethan’s Daily Book Look #363

imgres-2Here’s Ethan’s Book Look #363, the Keeper of the Lost Cities series (by Shannon Messenger). Ethan and his sister Maddy also had the opportunity to conduct a special phone interview with the author, and their interview is attached to the book look video. The interview was supposed to be via Skype, but the internet happened to be down in our neighborhood yesterday, so we had to settle for audio. Nevertheless, the kids had a blast chatting with Ms. Messenger — they loved hearing her responses to their questions and they thought she was so cool!! Thank you Shannon Messenger for spending time with Ethan and Maddy; we all cant wait for Book #6 to come out!
