BOOK TALK – THE AMAZING WORLD OF VIDEO GAME DEVELOPMENT / This nonfiction book (with awesome illustrations) briefly defines the roles of game dev teams (programmers, artists, composers, sound designers, game directors, etc.) and a basic breakdown of the process (defining an audience, pre-production, prototype, production, and release).
I'd expect this one to fly off the shelves... and wish it had been around when my game dev programmer was a kid!

BOOK TALK – BLIPS ON A SCREEN : HOW RALPH BAER INVENTED TV VIDEO GAMING AND LAUNCHED A WORLDWIDE OBSESSION / Have you ever played the electronic game called SIMON – or ANY video game? Then you have Ralph Baer to thank! This illustrated biography of the Jewish refugee details the life of an inventor whose idea launched the video game industry! As a kid in the 1970s, our family played Odyssey on a big box, console TV…blip blip… and later Simon, too! For those of us teaching research to gamers, Baer’s pursuit of training (based on his own geeky curiosity) and his careful note-taking (in order to secure over 150 patents) are particularly noteworthy!
How does a great idea become reality? Read and find out!
Includes a Q&A section with photos, a detailed timeline, and a great resource page in the back.

BOOK TALK – ALL IS BRIGHT… WHEN GOD CAME DOWN ONE SILENT NIGHT / This story of Mary and Joseph’s journey to Bethlehem and the birth of Jesus is entwined with bits of Scripture and snippets of lyrics from the old beloved hymn, "Silent Night." The text flows smoothly...and the illustrations are so pretty, but kid-friendly, too! It`s a sweet retelling for bedtime, Advent devotionals, Sunday School, or Christian school libraries.

BOOK TALK – MENDEL’S HANUKKAH MESS UP / Poor Mendel! He keeps trying to help with the preparations for his family’s Hanukkah celebration, but time and time again – messy accidents happen! Will a second chance make everything better – or will it make things even worse?!
I LOVED this cute Hanukkah story about second chances so much that I whipped up a set of SCOOT game cards to go along with it! You can find them in my TpT store. :)
