Will be looking for some of these for sure. I was a huge Paula Danziger fan as a young reader--Cat Ate My Jumpsuit, Pistachio Prescription, Divorce Express, There's a Bat in Bunk Five--I read and reread over and over around age 10. She's one I really need to book talk in my Children's Lit class. She's prolific, and I think the Amber Brown series is so much better than some of the other series my students get hooked on!Elisabeth Ellingtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00747914394861199796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-319624163132382197.post-73814228245269262014-11-24T09:39:03.612-07:002014-11-24T09:39:03.612-07:00Fun thanksgiving books, and some that would be a n...Fun thanksgiving books, and some that would be a nice change from the old stand-bys!<br />Michele Knotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05087579707297009719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-319624163132382197.post-16885811347202296512014-11-24T09:25:01.513-07:002014-11-24T09:25:01.513-07:00We've been getting lots of teachers ask for Me...We've been getting lots of teachers ask for Meal-themed books for Thanksgiving.

Her books are in my classroom library, but I'm afraid they've been forgotten. Thanks for the reminder to pull out Amber Brown again. <br />I have a huge box of books coming from NCTE, so maybe I'll begin reviewing more regularly. I am always amazed at the number of books you read.
