Welcome to the Posie Gets Cozy Summer-Reading Booklist! This booklist is made up entirely of suggestions from readers of a little blog called Posie Gets Cozy (http://rosylittlethings.typepad.com), who generously recommended their favorite children’s titles for inclusion here. It has no particular rhyme or reason, other than that these books are books that Somebody Somewhere loves. Some of these books are old, some of them are new, some of them are out-of-print, some of them you may only be able to find if you look very hard in secret places (I’ll leave that to you). All of them certainly sound delightful, from what I can tell, but I myself have only read a handful, so of course you (and your mom or dad) must use your own judgment about whether a book on the list is appropriate for you. W ith the help of some Very Trusty Librarians, I’ve organized these titles according to age groups, but I have no doubt you will find things that overlap. If an author is very popular, she or he may have lots of great books out there, but I’ve limited the number of titles I’ve included for any particular author to just about three. If a book is part of a series, I’ve listed the first title in the series followed by an asterisk (*), so you’ll know to go back and read more if you find something you like. When you finish a book, you can put a sticker in the first column, right on top of the blue thing that looks like this: f B ecause stickers are cool. And then you’ll always know which books you’ve read. (I also left a little room at the end of each section for you to add a few favorites of your own.) W hen you print out the booklist, just recycle this page (or skip printing it altogether) and keep the rest. I think it’s going to take us many summers to read all of these books, so you might even punch holes in the pages and put them all in a nice binder to take with you when you go to the library or bookstore.

Welcome to the Posie Gets Cozy Summer-Reading Booklist!
This booklist is made up entirely of suggestions from readers of a little blog called Posie Gets Cozy (http://rosylittlethings.typepad.com), who generously recommended their favorite children’s titles for inclusion here. It has no particular rhyme or reason, other than that these books are books that Somebody Somewhere loves.
Some of these books are old, some of them are new, some of them are out-of-print, some of them you may only be able to find if you look very hard in secret places (I’ll leave that to you). All of them certainly sound delightful, from what I can tell, but I myself have only read a handful, so of course you (and your mom or dad) must use your own judgment about whether a book on the list is appropriate for you.
With the help of some Very Trusty Librarians, I’ve organized these titles according to age groups, but I have no doubt you will find things that overlap. If an author is very popular, she or he may have lots of great books out there, but I’ve limited the number of titles I’ve included for any particular author to just about three. If a book is part of a series, I’ve listed the first title in the series followed by an asterisk (*), so you’ll know to go back and read more if you find something you like. When you finish a book, you can put a sticker in the first column, right on top of the blue thing that looks like this:
f
Because stickers are cool. And then you’ll always know which books you’ve read. (I also left a little room at the end of each section for you to add a few favorites of your own.) When you print out the booklist, just recycle this page (or skip printing it altogether) and keep the rest. I think it’s going to take us many summers to read all of these books, so you might even punch holes in the pages and put them all in a nice binder to take with you when you go to the library or bookstore.
Have fun, and happy reading!
Your friend,
