I am SO PLEASED to see some of our current favorites in this list such as Wonder, Wild Life, CandyMakers, Bad Kitty, and Extra Yarn.
It is instantly clear to me that while I/ we have read the majority of the Junior list, I/ we have some work to do on the Picture List. It does make me feel better to know that four of the books we don't own were already on a purchase list. Now to get these titles on the shelves!
