Antuan de sent exupery little prince5/10/2023 The remains of his aircraft were found nearby by a diver in 2000 and it wasn’t until 2004 that the French government confirmed that the remnants belonged to Saint-Exupéry’s vessel, marking a tragic end to an extraordinary life. The author’s body was never recovered and there were no clues about his fate until 1998, when his silver identity bracelet was found by a fisherman off the coast of Marseille. In the war, he flew reconnaissance missions and took off on 31 July 1944 from an airbase on Corsica, never to return. Saint-Exupéry’s second plane crash of note would be his last. Both Saint-Exupéry and his mechanic-navigator André Prévot miraculously survived four days in the baking hot environment, suffering from intense dehydration and hallucinations, when they were rescued by a Bedouin on a camel who happened to be passing by. Ahead of joining the French Air Force at the start of the war, in 1935 he attempted to break the record for the fastest trip between Paris and Saigon (now Ho Chi Minh City), crashing his plane in the Libyan desert.

Humbug witch by lorna balian5/10/2023 My mother used to come and read this to my second grade classes, and once the kids got over the shock that I had a mother, they would sit enraptured while she read the story. The ending has a fun surprise that I won’t share here, but is delightful to little children. She certainly looks the part – check out that cover – but she just can’t get her spells to work. Written and illustrated by Lorna Balian, Humbug Witch tells about a little witch who has some trouble functioning as a witch should. I was really excited to learn that this is still in print! This is, without a doubt, my favorite Halloween book. These are classic stories my mother read to me, and now I love sharing them with my girls. As promised, today’s selections include some Halloween favorites.
