2013 Texas 2x2 Reading List!

Compared to all of the other reading lists and award lists coming from the Lone Star State, the Texas 2x2 is by far my favorite! The 2x2 Committee and the Children's Round Table of the Texas Library Association has just announced their new 2013 reading list for children beginning at age 2 and up to children in 2nd grade.
