  8. A lot of people on my comments have commented about Dewey. I was a little weary to put it on my list but it sounds like a cute story. I have seen Handle with Care and The Black Girl Next Door on several other peoples' list. I have thought about The Boy in the Stripe Pajamas.

    Good Luck on your list

  12. I've only heard of a few of these, but it looks like you have a good variety to keep you busy this spring. I'm sure Handle with Care will eventually end up on my nightstand since I usually enjoy Jodi P's books. Thanks for being part of Spring Reading Thing '09!
