"This collection of monsters are friendly, loving, hungry, and happy."

"Stalinist Russia, Colonial America, romance, adventure...historical fiction has it all. Explore the past with these great titles. This list spans J Fiction and YA."

"Most people have at least one brother or sister--they are among the most defining and complex relationships of our lives."

"How is childhood different or similar in other places around the world? These books give a glimpse of other lives, and looking at other lives can help us see our own."

"It can be difficult to find a book that is not-too-easy and not-too-hard and is still interesting. These are some of the books I recommend to kids who are learning to read. They won't work for all kids, but they're a place to start."
