2014: A Great Year to Read

12/28/2014

20 Comments

 
When you read to a child, you bring emotion, love, and adventure into their life.  The best part is, you share that experience with them.  Priceless.

In two short months, I've read over two hundred fiction picture books as a CYBILS panelist, and hundreds of others in the prior months. While there are many that deserve praise, the selected titles below set a great model for children, teachers, writers and illustrators.  2014 was a great year to read!  Bring on 2015.
