Thanks for the book suggestions. I love having some fun new books to start the year off. Also teachers are always on the hunt for a nice back-to-school or friendship themed book.
Thanks for the list. If you have any to give away, I’d like one or even 2 (selfish ain’t I?). It’s almost too late to order any, but they’re great to have on hand for nexst year. I’ll have to order one or 2 with the other books I order as well.
