I will be picking one of my favorite books from three different age groups each month.  The books that I choose will be ones that I have read to my classes or heard as a child.
If you are interested in reading more about these books or want to look for another book, just click on the cover of the book or use the search engine above to find the title or author you want.  If you want to buy them right away, you can!  They can be directly ordered through Amazon.com 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
