Thank you for recommending these. As you know we especially need to stock up on poetry. The new STAR test has poetry in their line-up
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion, poetry books are the best for helping kids write their own poetry. They also provide a great "simmer down" after lunch recess! Max's Castle sounds exciting.

ReplyDeleteThe illustrations in Pumpkin Cat look so realistic. Thank you for recommending these. It is quite hard to select from so many picture books.
