Stein books. They are so quirky and bizarre but I've really enjoyed reading some with her. They're quick reads so I think they make the kid feel like they've accomplished something. Really fun illustrations too. A good pick for reluctant and beginning readers.Liesl Shurtliffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09064620851881036609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2173408054965817352.post-61457614330408041362011-04-08T11:07:37.569-05:002011-04-08T11:07:37.569-05:00I forgot to mention Big Nate #3, also not availabl...I forgot to mention Big Nate #3, also not available until mid-April.Caroline Starr Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04597510685273079757noreply@blogger.com
