"Take me home?"
Mr. Mulgrew's Book List
The following is a draft and in a constant state of construction, and
revision. A very special thanks is extended to Michelle Pacheco for
all of her assistance in helping me come closer to completing this
project.
The titles in this list have been carefully chosen. Not every title is right for every child. Children mature at different rates. They have different interest, reading abilities and life experiences. As always you, the parents and caregivers, should know what your children are reading. Examine the books they have chosen and provide clear guidelines for them.
