Theresa's comments from the The Newbery Award Book Club group.

Hi, somehow I missed this thread before. My introduction feels rather inauspicious compared to a few of yours. I've always loved childrens' lit and currently do volunteer work (data entry) for a school library that is trying to switch to computer records from a card and pocket system.

Newbery Award Winners and their honor counterparts are part of the 5th and 6th grade book report assignments, so the more I know the more I can help students who come in looking for materials.

Here are some of my favorite books:
Stand Tall, Molly Lou Melon by Patty Lovell
Yertle the Turtle by Dr. Seuss
Dr. Seuss's Sleep Book by Dr. Seuss
Holes by Louis Sachar
Till We Have Faces A Myth Retold by C.S. Lewis
The King Must Die A Novel by Mary Renault
The Menace From Earth by Robert A. Heinlein

Hoot and Scorpions sounds great to me..

I'd like to read Adam of the Road and The Westing Game sometime
