Books We Read – May 2011
I can’t remember a month as sparse as this one! That’s not to say we aren’t reading, but we’ve gotten into some longer books with more complex stories. We’ve decided to enjoy them one at a time. The good news is the Reading Tub website is now “modernized” with PHP and we’re back in the groove of reviewing … and linking to your reviews. At the bottom of our list we’ve got a list of reviews for books we’ve listed in previous months.
Received: 3 ….. New Reads: 6 …. New Reviews: 11
Please use these category headings to “jump” to your favorite children’s and young adult book categories. We hope this makes the monthly list (and our annual list pages) more enjoyable for you … not to mention a little more manageable to browse.
- Favorite Re-Reads (Kid Picks)
- Audio Books & Nontraditional Reading
- Bilingual Books
- Picture Books (all ages)
- Easy Readers (for new and developing readers)

If you’ve read any of these books, we’d love to link to them so readers can learn more about them! Just click “Our Book Talk” to add your link to our website review (via InLinkz) or just paste the URL into a comment and I’ll do the rest.
