Each Monday, The Classroom Bookshelf posts an entry on a recently published book for children or young adults. Each entry includes three sections: Book Review, Teaching Invitations, and Further Explorations. Our goal is to identify books that can be used in K-8 classrooms in a variety of ways. We invite you to explore the many entries on this blog by either by browsing past entries (titles that intrigue you) using the archive navigation tool below or by using the SEARCH field in the right sidebar. You can search the entries by keyword, curriculum topic, genre, or author. Enjoy what you find!
