Books, books, books...or at least 10 more for this month!

This month when I was picking out books, I decided to choose 5 by the same author.  I choose Cynthia Rylant.  She has published over 100 books and she has an amazing talent.  For the most part, I enjoyed the books I read but there were a few that really stood out as good possibilities for classroom use. 


The Dreamer by Cynthia Rylant

The Stars Will Still Shine by Cynthia Rylant

Mockingbird Morning by Joanne Ryder

This could be a go-to book for someone looking for a model
 of incredible descriptive language

January's Sparrow by Patricia Polacco
5 out of 5 stars
Another one of my favorite authors.  This book is simply amazing.
Any kind of Civil War/Slavery unit would not be complete without this book.

I really, really liked this book.  A story with a message that if you
stick with someone and don't give up, you can do it!
