@Erin, get thee to the library! You never know what you might discover that could tempt you inside for a little while. Megan’s last blog post..What We’re Reading Wednesdays: James and the Rain

What a great review. I'll definitely have to check out this book. I've found us taking a break from the library now that the weather is nice. We've been missing it and I think this book will be the reason we go. Thanks! Erin’s last blog post..Candy for Breakfast

@Rana, of course you may! Just make sure it's just a link to the review, not a re-post of the entire thing (sometimes there is some confusion with copyright issues). City Dogs sounds like something my little one would be VERY into. We'll have to look for it! Megan’s last blog post..What We’re Reading Wednesdays: James and the Rain

Ohhhh! We love James and the rain. My daughter makes me read that story over and over again. She also likes City dog by Karla too. I'm looking forward to being apart of this. Can I link this to my blog? Rana’s last blog post..Just Us Girls!

@Emily, I know! We spent two hours there this morning. We are so, so fortunate to live in a country where so many are able to have free access to so much wonderful literature. Thank you again so much for writing this review and for inspiring the What We're Reading idea! Megan’s last blog post..What We’re Reading Wednesdays: James and the Rain

I agree, Megan! There are SO many great books waiting to be discovered. Who says the library isn’t exciting?

@laura, I would imagine that you will find, as I did, that many people will give you children's lit classics as gifts. Dacey had Goodnight, Moon, and Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See? before she ever entered the world. Now is a GREAT time to start building your "non-canonical" library.

@turnitupmom, the first premise of teaching writing is to understand that great readers make great writers. I have never encountered an exception to this rule! I completely agree with you that exposing our children to rich, lively, interesting language from birth is so pivotal to building a foundation on which they will become effective and gifted communicators. Great insight, mama! Megan’s last blog post..What We’re Reading Wednesdays: James and the Rain

@Stacie, that has been my favorite part of compiling our Unsung Favorites list - there is SO MUCH great quality children's literature just waiting to be discovered. Megan’s last blog post..What We’re Reading Wednesdays: James and the Rain
