Brilliant librarian welcomes his wonderful students with brilliant blog.

Kathy Otto, an Oregon school librarian, has a blog about incorporating children's books when teaching in grades K-6. "My goal is to create a resource for teachers, home schoolers and anyone interested in quality books for children. Each title is one I have carefully evaluated and selected to support curriculum as well as your class read-alouds.

I have 35 years experience working with kids and their books, so you can consider me your personal librarian!" Check it out!
