These titles are great especially with students coming back to school. As I read your review of "Off to Class" and the notions on home-schooling or unschooling, I was reminded of David Almond's My Name Is Mina - especially as he explored William Blake's: <br />“How can the bird that is born for joy<br />Sit in a cage and sing?"<br /><br />I have a feeling you'd love that book. Can be a great companion book to Counting by 7s.GatheringBookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04477710897574769648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-319624163132382197.post-63720352648504466022014-08-21T06:03:11.750-06:002014-08-21T06:03:11.750-06:00I liked it a lot, Carrie.
