Back to School Books

I did a previous blog encouraging themed browsing boxes at home.  I love playing librarian to my daughter and creating a collection of seasonal books for her to celebrate special times of the year.  I recently put together a browsing box full of back to school books.  I’m super excited to return to work and see my students, and I hope these school books help my daughter look forward to her first day back.  Below is a list of back to school books for you to create your own themed browsing box at home.  Happy reading and happy 1^st day of school!
