365 Books, Please

365 books, please is a year-long project by yours truly, Anna L. I am a pre-service teacher (a.k.a. grad student), aspiring to build my classroom library by December 31st, 2011. Each day, I'll contribute a work to the collection. You'll find short and sweet posts about pieces such as picture books, instructional texts, juvenile fiction, comics, classics, and more! Cultivating future generations of avid readers is the goal. Your support is greatly appreciated, and recommendations are welcome.

Wonderful instructional text for children! No gross photos either. My kindergarteners appreciated that.Cathryn and John Sill form an excellent team to communicate basic life science through text and detailed illustrations. It's amazing how much information you can gather from a realistic illustration.
