Real Kids Talk About Books
- My book club kids are still very into Dragon Masters by Tracey West
- Bad Kitty is also a perennial favorite
- I need more books about the benefits of bees and not squishing bugs for my four year old classes. They got very riled up over Plant the tiny seed by Christie Matheson
- Plants can't sit still by Rebecca Hirsch was a huge hit
