BY ROSE, TUCKER, CARSON, AND ARIANA Holmes Elementary

The Scholastic Book Fair took place at Holmes Elementary’s library October 3-7, 2022. We reflected on our experience after taking pictures of the book fair with mentors.

Q: What did you like about the book fair?

Rose:

Plenty of toys, books, and things that were cheap to buy.

Carson:

I liked the toys that came with books. Some books that caught my eye were the Minecraft building books, the ones that teach you how to build. I liked these because they can help you get better.

Ariana: My favorite part about being at the book fair was being able to take pictures. It was my first time using the camera.

Tucker:

I enjoyed asking people about their books. I heard about new books that I had never heard of called Wishing Tree and The Magic Tree House. Book fairs are good sometimes.

Tucker gives a tip: if you are reading a good book, make sure you don’t read through dinner time.

Q: Why are there book fairs at the school Library?

Rose: According to the school librarian, “so we can get books and STEM materials. We might not have book fairs anymore.”
