Those look like some great books! I think I will copy and paste this list and see what I can find at our local library!
WOO HOO! I love it when someone else does the work for me;)
Marybeth,
Some of these books sound wonderful; I'll have to check them out at my local library. I don't homeschool, but I like to add activities, worksheets, books, and other little 'assignments' to supplement their regular schoolwork.
I also have a great suggestion for your younger ones come springtime; the book is called "I Love You More Than Rainbows" by Susan Crites. She is a dear woman who I went to both high school and college with. Her story is amazing and inspirational. I think both you and your kids would enjoy her first book. It's available on amazon, FCB, etc., but I'm not sure about libraries. Her website/blog is located at: www.susancrites.com
Blessings,
Linda
Thanks for posting your book list!! We'll have fun looking for some of these at the library.
We read a really great book this morning called "Bats at the Library" by Brian Lies. I checked it out from the library and all of my kids loved it!

Thanks for the suggestion about Bats at the Library! I put it on hold at our library! Fun!
Stopping By Woods On A Snowy Evening by Robert Frost is one of our favorites!! it's a must!!
Brrrrrrrrr...your list makes me feel cold. ;o)
Our 4 yr. old daugher LOVES Lola at the Library by Anna McQuinn. She and her 7 year old brother both liked, Our Librarian Won't Tell Us Anything by Toni Buzzeo. This book tells of the many resources a library has to offer.
I almost had a cow reading this post ... At first glance I didn't realize these were picture books, rather than novels or 200 page adult non-fiction. I thought, "How is the world will MB read all these in the next couple weeks - has she gotten a bootleg RX for Ritalin?!"

I can't wait for Feb. list! I couldn't think of any ideas other than V day myself but O how you just put it perfectly..... hope to see you around somewhere-- usually do!! lol:)
Great reading list! I love Frost's Stopping By...
We love Library Lion and Library Lil.
There is also "The Boy who was raised by Librarians" and "Library Mouse"
OK, I finally got off my procrastination station and decided to get these books put on hold at our local public library...and guess what?! Our library has put a hold on holds until Jan. 28th...The idea of dragging all five kids with me to the library to look for books is sounds way less appealing. LOL
