Welcome to Sue Lansing's "Booklist for Kids." This is a great resource to which I will continually add titles. Books are organized by age groups. Naturally I am always interested in learning about new books that I can add to my list. Drop me an e-mail and share your discoveries. This could be the start of something very useful for all who participate... sort of an "online book club" so to speak. Here's my e-mail (just click on it): slansing@dubuque.k12.ia.us. Not only do we need to hear about titles, but we would like, if possible, for you to tell us what you liked about a particular book. More importantly, why does your child love the book so much? And let us know what you think of our list so far. We value your feedback. Have a happy holiday, and keep reading!
