Alphathoughts

Alphathoughts: alphabet poems by Lee Bennett Hopkins (1-56397-979-9)
I shared this books with my poem-loving 6-year-old son and we both enjoyed the short but illuminating poems. The poem for the letter L is a definite winner: “Library: A pleasure place to ponder lifelong dreams.”

Carol Hurst's Children's Literature Site

All Reviewed Children’s Books
A great site for librarians, parents and teachers, Carol Hurst offers books with reviews and well as teaching ideas, authors, curriculum areas, and much more. I know that this will help me when I head out each year to do a book discussion at the local school. How great to have discussion points for a book along with the specific grade level!
