It's fun to see some titles that are popular in our library too! Our students love the A-Maze-ing books, Ook and Gluk, and nonfiction Magic Tree House.

I wish Johnny Boo were in our school library--I'll have to talk to the librarian about it.

All the Johnny Boo books are ia lot of fun; I'm not surprised beginning readers are drawn to these graphic books. And School of Fear is on my reading list.
