June Reads

I've been a busy bee.  We are halfway through Summer Reading at work.  June was a crazy month for programs - at least for me.  That didn't keep me from reading, though!  Below is the list of books I read in June. Many are picture books.  Most are Caldecott winners and honors.

Speaking of the Caldecott challenge - I have less than 30 to read!  If they all arrive soon I might have all of the books read by August.
