Kindergarten, First, and Second Grades Suggest



There is nothing like asking our youngest students to list their favorite books to make me glad to be a librarian.  Even a five year old has strong opinions and finds lots to love about books.  They got very excited as they discussed their favorites and thought of new ones.  Here, by grade, are their lists.  I will keep adding to them for the rest of the week as I meet with the remaining classes.  You can be sure that I will be enjoy the collection process as much as they are enjoying sharing with me.
