I’m stealing this idea from my friend Elizabeth. My list is long, but not long enough. I always feel like I’m catching up on all the great stuff out there. Many of these are picture books (and I’ve probably missed a few of those). I’ll have to decide if I want to keep including the picture books, as they make for lots of typing and linking….
The ones with * were audio books. I’ve linked to any of my posts about the books.
