Just. Right. Books.

We talk about this all the time, how to choose a "just right book." This week we are reading a super cute story ...

On her way to school, and late, Goldisocks takes a short-cut through the woods... (short-cuts through the forest are NEVER good, doesn't she know that??) and she stumbles upon a cute cottage made of books!  You will have to read the book for the rest of the story, but let's just say it all turns out "just right."  Goldisocks tells us about the 5 Finger Rule and shares other ways to help us choose "just right books."  Check it out for yourself!
