September 2010 Reads

So alot read this month--some for me, others for a class on Children's Literature (obviously those are rather short and therefore plentiful). I have to say that there was nothing I read that I didn't enjoy one way or another. However, for the sake of time, I'm not going into much detail. If there is every any question, just let me know. I am happy to answer any questions or field any comments that you may have.

Know all these books range in age from Kindergarten on up, and some of them were simply outstanding. Out of all the kids' books, I would have to say that my kids' favorite was "Can You Make a Scary Face?" It's an AWESOME book to read aloud (I'd say from ages 2-6). It's very interactive. All of them were great and if your interested for your own kids just give me a shout out. Happy Reading!!
