Children's Literature

I love that we have so many books.  Honestly, I wish every wall in our house was filled with books, but the trouble with that is finding the time to read them.  I especially love that we have so many books for the kids.  I love reading with them, but sometimes they don't want to read what I think sounds good!  So I've decided to pick up my reading for 2012, and I want to read one of the kid's books for myself each month as well.   I'm going to make a list, but you know how those go....sometimes I stick to them and sometimes I don't.  In no particular order, these are the ones I want to check out in the coming months:

The Wright 3 by Blue Balliett

The  Borrowers by Mary Norton

Flipped by Wendelin Van Draanen

Trollbridge: A Rock 'N' Roll Fairy Tale by Jane Yolen and Adam Stemple

Surviving the Applewhites by Stephanie Tolan

The Thief and the Beanstalk by P. W. Catanese

The View from Saturday by E. L. Konigsburg

The Shakespeare Stealer by Gary Blackwood

Utterly Me, Clarice Bean by Lauren Child
