I might try to volunteer at a higher level next year and find out :) I agree that there were definitely a lot of good choices there and I was amazed at how excited the kids were about different books. Some were just flying off the shelves! I think LEAP BACK HOME TO ME would be really sweet for a mom or grandma to read to a little one :) Have you seen Lauren Thompson's series about Mouse (MOUSE'S FIRST SPRING, MOUSE'S FIRST FALL, etc.)? Those books are adorable and also good for the youngest readers (though they aren't in rhyme)...Kerry Aradhyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14099941502319174759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4439188098541341285.post-47392799849003583172012-02-17T08:14:54.387-05:002012-02-17T08:14:54.387-05:00I love those book fairs, too.

And usually they are good choices. I haven't seen Leap Back Home to Me, but it sounds perfect for my grandson's upcoming birthday.Dorainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04421672075192660319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4439188098541341285.post-33204713055432098682012-02-13T22:38:39.758-05:002012-02-13T22:38:39.758-05:00Hi, Jeanette.

I'm still learning about the fairs, but I guess the coordinators get to order whichever books they want, so maybe your coordinator didn't order Leap Back Home to Me. I haven't seen it in the book stores yet, but I hope it shows up there, too!Kerry Aradhyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14099941502319174759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4439188098541341285.post-88172648559891448582012-02-13T19:47:52.705-05:002012-02-13T19:47:52.705-05:00I work at an elementary school and I love browsing...I work at an elementary school and I love browsing at the books during our Scholastic book fair but I missed, Leap Back Home to Me.
