2012 Texas 2x2 Reading List

It's finally here! Next to the Texas Bluebonnet Award, I :: HEART :: the Texas 2x2 Reading List. If you are already familiar with this list, skip the rest of this beginning paragraph and go straight to the list below! For those who don't know about the 2x2, let me share it with you! The 2x2 Reading List is created by Children's Round Table of the Texas Library Association, and provides 20 recommended books for children from age 2 up to 2nd Grade. 2x2, get it?

I am quite excited to say that the majority of the books on this 2012 list were already on my list of favorite new books that my library now owns! Enjoy, folks!
