I can't believe this is Library Time 50. I should have done something to celebrate it, but it kind of snuck up on me. I have a lot of fun making these lists every week, and I hope they've helped you and your children find new books to read. This week I read an incredible …

This week I read quite a few books. The one I'm recommending today is called I Am Rosemarie by Marietta D. Moskin. It's about the Holocaust and told in the first person although it is not a true story. I would say that it's written for the eleven and twelve-year-olds and up. Since the intended …

Disclosure: Affiliate Links This week I read a fantastic book about a dog named Skidboot. This dog was incredibly smart and became famous world-wide. The story was so fascinating as the love developed between Skidboot and his owner, David. Skidboot 'The Smartest Dog In The World' by Cathy Luchetti is well worth the read. //ws-na.amazon-adsystem.com/widgets/q?ServiceVersion=20070822&OneJS=1&Operation=GetAdHtml&MarketPlace=US&source=ss&ref=ss_til&ad_type=product_link&tracking_id=healthpreser-20&marketplace=amazon®ion=US&placement=0989417700&asins=0989417700&linkId=WHPGLMLALR3UODAP&show_border=true&link_opens_in_new_window=true …
