TAR: BEST BOOKS of 2003, interim report

[Joan Kimball <Kimballjoan@AOL.COM>]

Friends,
Happy New Year!   There is still time to send me your choices for the best
children's books published in 2003.  BY WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 7, send your
favorites to me indicating their interest levels.  I will post the final list on
Friday, January 9, to anticipate the Newbery and Caldecott announcements on the
12th.

My survey of LM_NETTERS has netted, so far, 22 respondents and three messages
seen on the list.  The result is a haul of 128 titles, Primary to YA.  Some
titles have been mentioned more than once, so I'll star those.

I'm not surprised at the fact that most answers don't duplicate each other.
I found when I surveyed a class or grade for their favorite books (which I
often did), very few children mentioned the same book.  Readers have such a range
of tastes and needs!   Joan
