		<description><![CDATA[I have really enjoyed being exposed to so many different genres of children&#8217;s literature this semester.  I learned about genres that I never even knew existed.  It has opened my eyes to how limited my library really is.  It is a goal of mine to expand my library to include as many different types of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Honestly, I have enjoyed this course. I think I have learned a great deal about children&#8217;s literature that I didn&#8217;t know. One of the things that I enjoyed most in this class is the blogs. I have always liked getting new things to share with my students and I have a list of new books [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Through the blogging, I have learned about several new books that I can use in my classroom.  The various books touched on many different subject and ideas.  They ranged from core content, like Appalachian studies, to themes that the students could relate to and would motivate them to read.  I also learned that many of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[“Beggars can’t be choosers!” Who says we can’t. We are begging daily for more literate children and we must be choosy in our book selection. This experience has taught me first and foremost, there is a lot out there. There are so many children’s books to choose from that finding the best can be a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I had to seriously think about whether or not I wanted to include this book in my reading blog.  It is based on a television show after all.  However, my preschool kids love it.  Most of the draw is the familiar characters.  Nearly every child loves Dora.  As a teacher I wanted to look at [...]]]></description>
