"Wow...I wish I had this book list a few weeks ago when I was ordering tradebooks for the teachers in my building. Paula is so thorough in explaining all of the newest book releases and passed them around so we could browse each of the books. This list will come in handy next year when I am looking for new literature to share with the teachers in my building. "

"Wow! A list of 94 books arranged alphabetically by title with appropriate grade level use, fomat, and category given was very helpful. I can't wait to read About Raptors: A Guide for Children and A Bald Eagle's World to my first graders to get them excited about nonfiction. I wish that I would have known about Goodbye Sheepie so that I could have read it to my class this year when one of my student's dogs died this school year. I'll have to remember that title if that unfortunate event happens again. When my new students start interrupting during the next school year, I may read Interrupting Chicken to get my students to realize how that makes people feel. I will also read Pingpong Perry Experiences How a Book is Made during my writing workshop time to make students realize the steps for publishing a book. Finally, I will use the book Seed, Soil, Sun with my plant unit that I teach. "
