Poetry, short stories, biographies, math, science and other subjects...and matching it with the art of pictures, drawings or paintings, it is endless beauty. Most of the books we check out from the library are children's picture books, they are the perfect springboard to learning for pleasure.<br /><br />xoxo micheleAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6071923761436968359.post-32480607408999052252012-02-21T10:09:30.878-05:002012-02-21T10:09:30.878-05:00Jeannette - good point!

Since I work in an elementary school library I'm always ready with information, whether they ask for it or not.... ;)<br /><br />Thanks for your comment.

And...I feel just that way about picture books, too. And just so you know, I don't think they'd have thought you were one bit crazy for talking about your own loves of particular books. I think people who browse those sections have a certain connection to childhood that a lot of adults "grow out of" and it's a shame. Maybe it's the connection to that sense of magic and wonder... Really nice post.JeannetteLShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13528285846408727632noreply@blogger.com
