Children's Best Sellers

The New York Times, April 12th edition, includes children's best sellers. I concur with their recommendation for the following books;

Listen to the Wind: The Story of Dr. Greg and " Three Cups of Tea" It is the children's version of an adult book about Greg Mortenson's building of schools in Pakistan.


Boy in Striped Pajamas by John Boyne. A very poignant look at the holocaust through the eyes of a young boy.



CAT by Matthew Van Fleet
