Emma and Me
05/04/2006 EditThe local PTSA has a reading rewards program. After looking at the program, I realized that it would be fun to keep track of the books that Emma and I are reading. We read at least fifteen minutes a day. Some of the books - the good ones - get read more than once. It will be fun to look back at the list from time-to-time.
A "+" sign indicates that the title has received Emma's "Listener's Choice Award".
