Happy Holidays from the Classroom Bookshelf

December 19, 2011 by Erika Thulin Dawes   Leave a Comment

We’re wishing you all a peaceful and joyous holiday season. We’ll be back with a regular posting on January 3, but in the meantime we wanted to share a collection of ‘best of 2011’ lists. Please feel free to add to our collection of links by submitting a favorite ‘best of’ listing of your own in a comment.

We’d like to extend our deep appreciation to the teachers, librarians, authors, illustrators, and publishers who join us in our efforts to put wonderful books in the hands of children. Happy New Year to all!
