learned that EarlyWord.com has compiled several of the 2009 best books for
children and young adults into one spreadsheet. <SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>You’ll find titles from NYT Notable
Children’s Books, National Book Award finalists, School Library Journal Best
Books, and much more all on one spreadsheet. <SPAN

spreadsheet</SPAN> is hard to find on their vast website <SPAN

the spreadsheet to this email, however attachments don’t always work on
listserves. <SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN></P>
