How to Make a Librarian Happy: November 2012 (part 2)

Yesterday, I showcased a lot of YA and middle grade books I was able to get for the charter school's library at the Scholastic book fair.  Now, let me present the new books for the younger students (there are also middle grade-appropriate books here; upper elementary students and middle school students read a variety of things).

All photos are mine.  All links are to Goodreads, unless otherwise noted.

  2. I absolutely LOVED Flat Stanley as a child. I think there was only the one book at that time though, but I read it again and again =) I hope the kids enjoy it as much as I did!
