Those of you that have heard Carmen tell her story, Love in the Library, already know that Carmen has a special place in her heart just for E.B. White and Charlotte’s Web. It was the book that really made her love reading, which makes it mean that much more to be on the Middle Reader Honor Award list for the E.B. White Read-Aloud Award. You can view a complete list of winners and honor books here. Thank you to everyone that nominated and voted for The Cheshire Cheese Cat!
