"The Invention of Hugo Cabret" by Brian Scelznick is the hot book with our 4-5th graders. I look forward to seeing it on reader's choice lists in the year to come, as it breaks exciting new ground blending graphic novel elements with a compelling bit of historical fiction.

    Craig Seasholes:The student sets went straight to reading groups the day we received our copy. The poster sets hang around the school, and their magazine is a frequent read by parents and staff from our little library. Their book reviews and suggestions are often right on the mark for our school's mission and population. Our school has some history with the SPLC materials, having been profiled in "Starting Small" their first early elementary book and video published in late 90's.
    Anonymous:Like many other Teaching Tolerance materials, this latest collection is easy to share among staff. These stories support discussion of bias and tolerance, topics that are an essential part of our school culture and library collection.
