JUVENILE
My Kindergarten Learning Tub and My
Pre-Kindergarten Learning Tub, from
Scholastic. If there’s one thing I can’t say no
to, it’s buying books for the children in my
life. These are ideal collections for any child
age 3 or older. Both are filled with easy readers, skill-building storybooks, a workbook,
puzzles, a poster to personalize and 200 stickers to help track a child’s learning milestones.
And it’s all packed in a bright red reusable tub.

NONFICTION
A Full Life: Reflections at Ninety, by Jimmy
Carter. In this memoir, Carter reflects on his
public and private life with unexpected candor. From his boyhood in rural Georgia to the
decisions that led him to the White House,
he writes with unflinching honesty and vivid
detail. There are things of which he is proud
and times that he remembers with regret. The
