I have a sense of the kinds of books I am looking for, but I'm overwhelmed by sheer quantity of books. So--your reviews are very useful.<BR/>-EllenEllenKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05436781636918621700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24418123.post-9810856393684613692007-06-15T19:06:00.000-05:002007-06-15T19:06:00.000-05:00I love Ida B. and have read it a couple of times n...I love Ida B. and have read it a couple of times now. Once to my third graders---they esp. liked the part about the soap mask. <BR/><BR/>Esme--I just discovered this blog and look forward to using it to plan this coming year's student book club! This past year we read Vive La Paris and had a really great discussion about it. I was amazed at how much the racial issues it brought up weren't at the forefront of our talks. They seemed way more interested in the family dynamics esp. between Michael and Paris. They also talked a lot about the older brother and his girlfriend getting pregnant and how generous it was for Paris to want to give her money to them at the end. A big discussion for fourth and fifth graders! <BR/><BR/>Thanks for all you do for readers of all ages! <BR/><BR/>DeniseDenisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00132494394638364405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24418123.post-80312511997918864402007-06-15T19:04:00.000-05:002007-06-15T19:04:00.000-05:00I agree.
