Stellar list. I have some reading to do. Ty, Melissa, and have a restfu, wonderful holiday.
Wonderful list, Melissa…there are several I haven't read yet, so this is a great reminder!
I was so sorry we couldn't stop to chat when we ran into each other at NCTE. Hopefully next time. Meanwhile, have a happy and healthy holiday season and may your New Year blossom with joy and success!
Such great titles! I've read all of them except for All in a Drop & The First Dinosaur, but I just picked them both up from the library today 🙂
You too! Happy Holidays!
Hope you enjoy them as much as I did. They both have wonderful art as well as writing.
Yes, I also wished we could have chatted at NCTE. Such a busy conference. I hope to see you again soon.
I love Marcie’s “Wait Rest Pause” book. It’s such a great concept that helps kids understand a bit more about what’s going on in nature. Thank you for this post.
