If you have been on my blog some you already know that I am ADDICTED to children's books!! They are everywhere at my house and my kids are notorious for sneaking my precious books out of my classroom to take them home and read. So periodically, I have to go through the house and gather them up and take them back to school. So, when I hear about some really good books and find lesson plans to go with them I am all about it! If you want to purchase these books or read more about them, all you have to do is click on the picture and wallah! You will be at Amazon. Enjoy!
