They were popular at state fairs, apparently and she also cut them out of newspapers. Interesting selection. Thanks.

I'm glad that your Martha made the list, too. Hope that you're having a good summer. Hey Lissa,

It has to be read out loud for most of the fun. My animal loving, adventure seeking daughter, age 9, loves the fun and adventures and ease of reading it. Nim's Island, soon to be a movie, and Art In The Park are also great. Nim's Island will have a sequel soon too. Wendy Orr is an Australian author, so it has been taking awhile for her book to be released in the US. We haven't yet read Peeling the Onion, a more in depth book, but will be reading it soon.

This is a great list of lists. I've enjoyed looking at this list of the best illustrated children's books of 2006 from the NY Times: http://www.nytimes.com/slideshow/2006/11/12/books/12bestil_SLIDESHOW_1.html I’ve been lurking here for awhile and I love all that I’ve learned.
