What a haul of amazingly great books! My seven-year-old second grader has become such a girl of discovery so I picked a lot of nonfiction. I also liked to find good nonfiction for my school library and this is a fantastic way to research them before I buy them from Titlewave. Nonfiction is expensive and it is sometimes difficult to tell how hard the text is without previewing it.
We will be happily reading tonight!
