A couple of weeks ago I posted about 1001 Children’s Books You Must Read Before You Grow Up. I really am determined and I secretly wish I could buy EVERY. SINGLE. BOOK. and have the coolest library ever…but then, I guess that is what it would be, a library. Anyway, I went to the Cambridge Public Library to get started. If you notice on my sidebar I have an Amazon widget with 1001 Children’s Books You Must Read Before You Grow Up. If you click on the book then you can see what I thought of it…Anyway, the Library surprisingly didn’t have many of the books so I had to skip ahead to ones I found.
Sadly, I recognize that I am doing very poorly at this little challenge but will keep trucking nonetheless…
