Luann (azbookgal) | 1011 comments Keep it up, Crystal! You're doing great!

BTW, I just noticed The 13 Clocks on your list. I read that to all of my library classes in April. SUCH a great book! I was still noticing new fun details even on the tenth time through.

I also love Snowflake Bentley and base an entire library lesson around him. Did you know you can still get the books of his snowflake photographs?
