I love lists. Word lists, grocery lists, even to-do lists. But my favorite list of all is a to-read list. I keep one in my planner, in the list section, of course. Here is the New York Public Library's list of 2011 children's books to read and share. Find great books to add to your lists: to-read, to-give, to-read to others. And hurray, the list includes The Luck of the Buttons!

I love lists too! And like you, my to-read one is a favorite. And I really love that The Luck of the Buttons is on that prestigious list, Anne, because it was one of my favorite reads in 2011.
