I just ordered this book from Amazon on Friday. Just happened across it as I was looking for others and thought, "I've got to read this one." And now you and Joan recommend it. Can't wait for it to arrive on Tuesday. Any book Joan Arth suggests is definitely one worth investigating. After I read it I'll put it in our Professional Library and encourage our Literacy Coach to take a look. Thanks for the confirmation on a book I had just randomly selected. I can’t believe it!

I've known for years that reading self selected books increases both interest in reading and reading level, but Donalyn puts muscle in the theorem. I've recommended her book to teachers, principals and other librarians and so far, I haven't found a single person who who didn't like it and Donalyn's classroom approach to reading.
