Knowing that school is starting soon, I thought I’d start putting together lists of some of the best school and back to school books. This list is inclusive of popular characters, preschool, kindergarten, teacher, school supply, etc. Enjoy the upcoming school year! Find these books at Amazon, other vendors, or your local library. I’ll be publishing shorter lists with descriptions of the books soon.
