	WELCOME! This site is a project created for LS 5603 Juvenile Literature, a graduate course at Texas Woman's University in Denton, Texas. My name is Mia Steinkamp and I love children's books! I love to read to children, especially my own three daughters. One of my all time favorite books is Newbery Award winning The Door in the Wall by Marguerite de Angeli. I view reading as a "door in the wall"... it takes me on many adventures and stretches my mind. On this site you will find reviews of books that I have read for this course. Click on the titles above if you want to read what I think about them.		When I was a little girl I loved to read and camp. What a great combination! I was blessed with great parents who encouraged both when I was a child. (The above clip art was free and is available at: http://school.discovery.com/clipart/.)

This site began in June, 2003 and was completed in August, 2003.
