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:
written by Liz Garton Scanlon
illustrated by Marla Frazee
illustrated by Jerry Pinkney
written by Alice Schertle
illustrated by Petra Mathers
written by Joyce Sidman
illustrated by Pamela Zagarenski
I just added "Red Sings from Treetops" to my class's book wish list!! Yay!
PS-Recipe, added.
PPS-Just finished The Help. Dying it was so good.
