If a title appears in this list, it comes with my recommendation. Not only did I enjoy it, but I believe it will be enjoyed by the intended audience and other readers of other ages.

Links are attached to the author's and/or illustrator's websites as well as the publisher's website so you can read their blurb and enjoy any additional resources they provide.
