My first Horn Book Magazine (Jan/Feb 2010) came in the mail yesterday! Excellent! I already know I’m going to love this subscription— it’s just such a perfect resource for the teacher in me. In this issue I particularly liked the section on “Horn Book Fanfare: Our Choices for the Best Books of 2009″… gives me a chance to see what the experts think.
After reading through the list here are the books I’m most excited to find at the bookstore:
