Reading Roundup January 2008

I skewed rather younger than usual this month, with the bulk of my list being picture books.

By the Numbers
Total Number Read: 97 (!!)
Teen: 11
Tween: 27
Children: 30
Preschool: 42

Standouts
Teen: The Princess and the Hound by Mette Ivie Harrison*
Tween: Greetings from Planet Earth by Barbara Kerley
Children: Moxy Maxwell Does Not Love Stuart Little by Peggy Gifford
Preschool: A Child's Guide to Common Household Monsters by James Otis Thach

*There actually is another teen standout, but it's part of my Cybils reading, and I don't want to give anything away. And really, The Princess and the Hound was freakin' amazing.
