The Top Shelf --Books for Adults

Most of the books I will share on this blog will be for children. Occasionally I will post "The Top Shelf," adult books that pertain to early literacy, reading, play, etc. This will depend on how often I actually have a chance to read a book on this topic, but I am optimistic. I'd like this blog to be a place for people to come and find easy, fun ways to encourage a love of reading in children. When I find a good book that assists in that, I'll share it. Here's the first.
