Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from Roo.
Roo would very much like to wish all his friends and supporters a wonderful Christmas and all the very best for the new year.
Roo will be back at the library on Monday 6 January 2014 to listen to more stories and meet more awesome readers!
Tatiana read in te reo Maori – awesome!
Tatiana has become the first person ro read to Roo in te reo Maori! Roo was incredibly impressed with Tatiana’s fluency in two languages, and appreciated her translations into English to help him understand the story. Tatiana selected Te Mihini Iti Kowhai as her story – and Roo thought the dog in the story was very cool as well.
Thanks Tatiana, you are awesome!
Roo listened to Nane read a story.
Nane dropped in to read a story to Roo as well – encouraged by her younger sister, Josey.
While Nane was reading, her and Josey’s Dad came in and got the girls memberships to the library – awesome Dad!
Thanks for reading to Roo, Nane!
Justina is a regular reader to Roo!
Justina reads to Roo on a weekly basis, and always chooses a variety of interesting stories – Justina never reads the same book twice! Roo thinks that Justina’s reading is just brilliant, and looks forward to more sessions with her.
Thanks Justina! 
Josey finally got to read to Roo.
It was really great when Josey sat down and read Roo some stories – this one about a poor bear with a sore tooth. Josey is an awesome reader, who had been wanting to read to Roo for some time – thanks Auntie for bringing Josey down to the library!
Amos is introducing Roo to graphic novels.
Amos is an excellent reader, and has taken up the challenge of introducing the genre of Graphic Novels to Roo. Amos reads the text so well, that Roo can fully understand the story, and he liked this one!
Mele both reads and sings to Roo – thank you!
Mele always offers Roo some extra magic during her reading sessions with him – once she has finished reading a book to him, she sings him some lovely songs.
This always makes Roo feel very special – thank you for being such an excellent reader and singer Mele!
Lanu and her Mum came to read to Roo.
Roo was really pleased to meet Lanu, who came with her Mum, to read to him after school.
Lanu read a great story, that Roo listened to carefully.
Thanks for reading to Roo, Lanu!
Adam always reads fantastically!
Roo knows that when Adam joins him for a reading session, he is always in for a treat. Adam reads such great stories, and Roo loves the extra attention he receives from Adam while he is reading!
