It’s Here, It’s Here…

It’s finally here! This week Jenny Jones was kind enough to send over a copy of her latest book, There You’ll Find Me. This was much welcomed and it will be nice addition to our classroom library. Jenny’s books have been a big hit among my students in the past and I’m sure that this…
