Great+Reads+K_2

=Great Reads for K - 2 = Books you really should read before year 3 Check out our library to see if you can find a copy. A list like this is always influenced a person's like and dislikes, I I hope you find some of your favourites and some that become new favourites too! Some authors have written many books but only one or two are included, don't let that stop you from finding their other titles :-) Let me know if there is something really good to add to the list : )

I have included links to help you find out about some of the authors. I hope to have the students help me do some book reviews too, so you can see what others think. When you see a link on the book title it will take you to the students' reviews

If you would like to write a review, watch this space the old link has gone a new one needs to be made!

Enjoy your reading.
