OU's Haunted Halls
My first favorite storybook that I came across wile browsing past projects was entitled "OU's Haunted Halls- Ghost stories of OU". This project immediately caught my attention because I have always been interested in ghost stories- and especially those that have to do with things that I'm involved in...like OU! As soon as I started reading my attention was grabbed and I was intrigued to continue on. The project consisted of four different ghost stories that had been revised from real events that have happened during the history of OU. It was very interesting and creepy! I definitely enjoyed reading this. Read about OU's haunted halls for yourself!
Toto's Adventures in OZ
Another favorite storybook that I came across was a story told by none other than Toto himself, retelling the events that took place in the classic film, The Wizard of Oz. I have always been a huge fan of the movie so this title also intrigued me, and it did not disappoint! It was very humorous being that the point of view was coming from a dog, and it gave me a new perspective to the story that I had never thought of before. There were also interactive videos that made the reading even more fun. If you are a fan of lions, tigers and bears (oh my!) then I would highly suggest giving this storybook a read.

Elf Tales- A trip down memory lane
One last favorite that I found was entitled Elf tales, and it was a spin off of the famous movie Elf. This is one of my favorite movies so I couldn't resist this one. This version however is written from the perspective of Buddy's dad, Chaz. In this project Chaz tells four different stories about his past life before he became Poppa Elf at the North Pole. I found this project again very humorous and enjoyable to read. I thought this introduction was especially good because it did a really good job at explaining what the next few stories would be about and it gave all the info necessary for the reader to understand what was going on. Enlighten yourself and read about Chaz's past life for yourself!
By browsing through all of these past storybooks made by former students I was able to get some really great ideas about what I want, and don't want to do for my project this semester. Not to mention, it was super fun!
