Teachers select titles from the book fair that they feel may be a good fit for their classroom and the school community is given an opportunity to contribute by purchasing a title. If you are interested, check the link and see what titles your teacher has selected! All titles can be found in the Virtual Book Fair, and when purchased, ship directly to the school.  Classroom Wishlist MQP Virtual Book Fair
