I am a newly retired early childhood teacher. I taught kindergarten for 22 years plus 2nd and 3rd grades, teaching 27 years total. I love children's literature and i may be one of the few people that have actually read THE LION, THE WITCH, AND THE WARDROBE at least 23 times ALOUD with CHARLOTTE'S WEB and others coming in a close second. I am also a constant reader for myself. I especially love fiction.
For the last year i have been blissfully afloat without direction. I am now working part time at the fabulous Bare Hands Gallery and substitute teaching at the NEMJDschool as well as tutoring.
I have listed the top 50 (that I can think of for now) of my favorite picture books for children on my "own" shelf for anyone interested.
There are also many, many juvenille books i've read that I haven't listed, but a few that I have, especially if I've read them lately and feel they are adult lovable.
I have listed only one of the Lillian Jackson Braun "cat who books", but have read them all, as they are my favorite "cozies".
