And to tell you the truth, I don't know if I would have discovered this one if it hadn't of been a Newbery. Kim - I've only been able to do it because I've been reading short books! I really wanted to read Uncle Tom's Cabin but didn't plan very well and knew reading it before the end of Feb. was a lost cause. I'm so glad you are enjoying the reviews this month. To tell you the truth, I haven't had much response with it so I assumed many just weren't interested. Infant Bibliophile - Thanks so much! Doret - I loved the role that Eleanor Roosevelt played in her life. They seemed to be very good friends. Becky - I have so many Freedman books that I need to make my way through. But this one did keep me very engaged. Ali - The video is great isn't it? I had to post a video because I wanted to hear her voice while I was reading the book. Melissa - I'm glad that I brought it back for you! Ladytink_534 – There are a lot of great Newbery books out there.

Like you, I didn't know anything about Marian Anderson before I read it a year or so ago, so I learned a lot. I'm a singer, though, so I was a little ashamed that I hadn't heard about her.

I tend to enjoy most of Russell Freedman's books. But this one was extra-great, in my humble opinion. This is a great book. I tend to enjoy most of Russell Freedman’s books.

I've left you an "award" on my site. Sorry for the chain letter nature of these things, but I figured we all like a little extra blog traffic, so I'm playing along. Great reviews this month!

I have my doubts that I'll get to any of them in time to celebrate with you but I do want to read some of these excellent books that you've reviewed this month. Thanks for the great reviews.
