This wish list was put together by the librarian at Thomas Dixon Elementary School in Staunton, VA. She has requested these books for her library as part of the 2008 Warren H. Drumheller Memorial Book Drive, sponsored by Pufferbellies Toys & Books in Staunton, VA.
Please see this post if you're not familiar with the way the book drive works.
Please note that although Pufferbellies might not have all titles in stock, you can still make your donation right away (even over the phone by calling 1-540-886-3516), as we can special-order every book on the list.
