This looks like a great list and I am anxious to take it with me to my local bookstore. I have a second grader next year and know he would enjoy a few of these. Thanks!
Katied,
Thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment. I was a second grade teacher for many years. I had a classroom full of books. One of my students' favorite story characters was Ramona Geraldine Quimby. I miss reading aloud to children now that I'm retired.
What a nice bookstore and a great list of books! I understand about missing reading aloud to children now that you're retired. I'm on Leave of Absence, and there's a lot I miss, but most of all sharing books with the kids.
Robin,
The Banbury Cross Children's Bookshop is a wonderful store. I usually stop by there at least once a week...to look at new books and to chat about children's literature.
I hope you're enjoying your leave. Now I read aloud to older students in the children's literature course that I teach. Most of them enjoy having pictures books read to them.
