Fantastic Mr. Fox, by Roald Dahl, is one of the books on the reading list that our children's librarians have compiled just for second graders. You can access this list and others for elementary school students by clicking on the "Kidspage" section of this website. Then click on "Children's Books and Reading" . You'll be able to find lists of historical fiction, fantasy, sports and other genres, plus books that are recommended for grades two through six. Our children's librarians have selected the listed books just for you. Browse the book lists online, or stop by the children's desk and you'll be sure to find something interesting to read.
You'll also be able to find lists of Newberry and Caldecott award-winning books on our "Children's Books and Reading" link, along with recommended books from other libraries and websites.
