The book "Newbery on the Net" hypes children to want to read the Newbery Award winners. The format is consistent for each book selection: introduction, assignment internet resources, questions, learning advice, conclusion, educator notes with additional websites and books. 21 books are listed in this format: Sarah, Plain and Tall; Roll of Thunder Hear My Cry; Julie of the Wolves; A Gathering of Days; Joyful Noise, Poems for Two Voices; Lincoln A Photobiography; Number the Stars; The View from Saturday;From the Mixed-Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler; Maniac Magee; Missing May; Island of the Blue Dolphins; Dear Mr. Henshaw; M.C. Higgins the Great; Walk Two Moons; The Hero and the Crown; The Door in the Wall; The Midwife's Apprentice; The Westing Game; Out of the Dust; and Newbery sites. The table of contents gives students a chance to choose, and the selections can then be used as independent study or class study. The questions allow flexibility, creativity, and research. My students and I are excited about this new book!
