Where will you stay?

 

I saw this fabulous idea on Instagram today from The Book Wrangler.  It would be easy to adapt this for children in your Australian library - perhaps before the next holiday period such as our end of term one break in April when families are focused on holiday destinations including holiday houses and hotels.

Books in Mike's image, which you can see here, include Anne of Green Gables; Madeline; Winnie the Pooh; The Twits; Greenglass House; The Vanderbeekers; Mercy Watson; and A series of Unfortunate events. I am in awe of the way Mike took the trouble to include an image of the house and not just a book cover.

If you work in a school library you will find a wealth of ideas for displays and library lessons created by Mike Rawls - The Book Wrangler.

Here are the Australian and other favourite books I would include for a display like this. I imagine you could easily copy one image from each book to make the display even better. I extended the idea to also include hotels. 

John Brown and Rose live in a such a delightful cozy cottage. 

You can type each of these titles into my search bar to read more. A few of these are very old but also very special such as View from the 32nd Floor; The naming of Tishkin Silk; and The Sea-breeze hotel. The Best Hiding Place and Farmhouse are quite new.
