books

For Christmas I received a gift of the best kind – books. Better yet, children’s books. A whole pack of them. Their titles?

Ruby Holler, by Sharon Creech
A Long Way from Chicago, by Rickard Peck
Al Capone Does My Shirts, by Gennifer Choldenko
The Watson’s go to Birmingham – 1963, Christopher Paul Curtis
Milkweed, by Jerry Spinelli
Bridge to Terabithia, by Katherine Paterson
The Great Gilly Hopkins, by Katherine Paterson
Sarah, Plain and Tall, by Patricia MacLachlan
Shiloh, by Phyllis Reynolds Naylor

Many spare moments have been spent indulging in the plots and plights held within their pages. And what did I do two nights ago, you ask? I polished off my repertoire by watching Charlotte’s Web. I know. The life of an elementary teacher is exciting, huh? =)
