Look what arrived today!
The newest Amanda book
by Darlene Foster.
I love every Amanda book.
Adventure, history, geography,
and all the complexities of sleuthing
with many different characters and personalities.
Let the summer reading begin!
Jennie
About Jennie
I have been teaching preschool for over forty years. This is my passion. I believe that children have a voice, and that is the catalyst to enhance or even change the learning experience. Emergent curriculum opens young minds. It's the little things that happen in the classroom that are most important and exciting. That's what I write about.
I was a live guest on the Kelly Clarkson Show. I am highlighted in the seventh edition of Jim Trelease's million-copy bestselling book, "The Read-Aloud Handbook" because of my reading to children. My class has designed quilts that hang as permanent displays at the National Liberty Museum in Philadelphia, the Fisher House at the Boston VA Hospital, and the Massachusetts State House in Boston.
A Teacher's Reflections 
Thanks, Jennie, I know you will enjoy reading Darlene’s latest book. They are ALL a great read. I haven’t any grand-daughters but bought a few for my neices. (We live within a few miles of each other in Spain, and I can confirm what a diligent , dedicated writer/traveller she is! All credit to her. ) Best wishes.
Thanks, Joy. I’m pleased your nieces enjoy the books.
I champion all you say about Darlene and her Amanda books! Yes, yes! Thank you, Joy.
Hooray for a new Amanda novel! Good luck to Darlene with this latest book in the series.
Best wishes, Pete.
Thank you so much Pete!
Yes, a big hooray! Best to you, Pete.
I am so pleased the book arrived in time for your summer reading. Thanks for the shout out! You look fabulous holding the book. Enjoy the adventure.
You are very welcome, Darlene! Thanks so much for your kind words.
I love when we have new books to be excited about !!
Yes, yes!!
Enjoy your book Jennie, there’s nothing better than reading!
Hear, hear!
Jennie, you’ll have a great time with Darlene’s new book. Hugs
I have no doubt I will! Thank you, Teagan.
A perfect book for the teacher who reads every day!
Yes, it is!
Darlene’s array of books is very impressive, Jennie. I wish they were round when I was reading to my sons and later to my grandkids.
She has a very impressive blog also, but I don’t see where I could sign up for it.
I wish her books had been around when my children were younger. Yes, her blog is wonderful. You would love her stories of growing up on the prairie in Canada. When you search WP for blogs, she is Darlene Foster’s Blog. Then click the button to follow.
