If she loves books, she would probably love it.

Ha. I put a lot of picture books on hold at my library as I see them touted on Goodreads, Twitter, and Facebook. I just love them! I buy a lot of them, too. ;-) I've tried not to get too carried away this year at bookstores - it's hard, though!!Holly Muellerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00476411667354933648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2752544695499885154.post-32755504457133499352014-10-28T22:44:32.077-04:002014-10-28T22:44:32.077-04:00Firebird is amazingly beautiful and I loved it alo...Firebird is amazingly beautiful and I loved it along with Nana and Flora. I haven't seen Hank or the squirrel book yet, but they look fun. <br /><br />I used NoveList a week or two ago with my fifth graders and one of them has been asking for I Killed the Mockingbird. She read a review and thought it sounded amazing. I wasn't sure if it would work with elementary so haven't ordered it yet. What do you think?<br /><br />The rest of your chapter books were definitely some of my favorites & I enjoyed the 365 Days of Wonder too. What a great week!Crystalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14662811441487822589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2752544695499885154.post-87662957667585826872014-10-28T21:48:54.895-04:002014-10-28T21:48:54.895-04:00So much to comment on in one post!

I've read most of these except Big Little Lies & I Kill The Mockingbird-not sure I'll get to them any time soon, but wish I could. I just bought 365 Days of Wonder at our book fair-thought I'd read a little each day for inspiration.

I'm amazed at how many you read in a week. I loved Secret Hum so much. And the Wonder precepts is a staple in our classroom for daily inspiration. Where do you find all the picture books?
