Now it’s back to you. Post a list by September 20th of your best so far and let me know about it. I’ll pull together our suggestions in one big list. If you would prefer, you can leave your suggestions in my comments. I’ve had some great participants so far, and I’d love some more.

I got sick of making links, but I haven't forgotten your suggestions Liz, Adam, Michelle, Jonathan, AZ, P.Mathis, and Colleen. Kelly, I know you can't resist playing, so I'll look for your picks. And there are some people I can't wait to hear from (Leila).
Wow, great idea. I was going to wait until December to do this, but it gives me something to do until I get my own site revamped.
Will do a post on the 20th then. Thanks.
Duck and Goose have a sequel - Duck, Duck, Goose - due out next year! YAY!
I'll post my list at Bildungsroman this weekend - Remind me! - I posted them in the comments thread earlier.
Hi there! I haven't read enough new books this year to be of any use in this list gathering, so sorry! Didn't want you to think I was ignoring it. I'm enjoying reading other people's pics.
Posted! :)
I"ve updated my top ones and sorted them a bit better. It's at http://yzocaet.blogspot.com/2006/09/top-5-books-of-2006.html
MotherReader, I wonder if you can join me in reviewing banned books for books week (9/23-9/30), and, better yet, posting about it to your own blog so other book-bloggers will also consider doing so. The idea is to celebrate freedom by reading books others want removed from library shelves and classrooms.
Thanks,

Hello motherreader,
I just wanted to thank you for including my and my husband's book - "If I Had a Dragon" - on your runner-up list! This is our first book and we are so excited about the positive response we've been getting! We hope there will be more to come soon! Thanks again for your great support!

Best Books of 2006 (So Far)
I am horrible at this stuff. Usually I get frightened in libraries. But I LOVE this book:
Click, Clack Moo: Cows that Type
Does that count? Crap, no. I see it's copyright is 2000. I'm only 6 years off!
Okeedoke, my list is up at bookbuds.net Thanks for doing this.
Thanks for stopping by, Amanda. "If I Had a Dragon" is a great read with clever illustrations. Kids need to see - in a funny, nonthreatening way - how great it can be to have a sibling. Plus, the pictures made me laugh. I'll be looking forward to more from you guys.
Thanks to everyone for the suggestions. I've been by your sites to take a look.
