I am looking forward to reading "The Lion and the Mouse" by Jerry Pinkney and re-reading "The Little Prince" by Antoine de Saint-Exupery.

I purchased most of the Series books below for my library. I know the children will be excited to read them when they return in January 2010.

Until the next time....

A children's book a day, will keep the scary monster away!
