Great Book Blog!

I have 50 (yes 50!) drafts underway, but all I have ready for tonight is a wonderful link for those of you who are interested in children’s books.  Please head on over to this great blog - Children’s Books: What, When & How to Read Them.  Tanya is a book-loving mother PLUS she works in a book store.  What more could one want?

Thankfully she somehow discovered Unplug Your Kids and left a comment on my first Chapter Books Suitable for Extra-Young Readers post.  That’s how I found her blog.

Here is Tanya’s blog tagline:

As a lover of children’s literature, mother and bookseller of 13 years, I want to put good books into kid’s hands. I share my philosophy on what makes a book good as well as book reviews and lists of great books for every reading taste and ability with a focus on new readers. I also highlight to some wonderful books that are not always on the shelf at bookstores, but might be at your library and can definitely be ordered. All books mentioned are available in paperback unless noted.

Book reviews are searchable alphabetically, or by type (for ex. Books for Boys, Book Lists-Advanced Readers, Beginning Readers, Book Lists-2nd and 3rd Grades, etc.).

I look forward to exploring Tanya’s Children’s Books blog further!

PS.  I really hope to have another chapter book post of my own up tomorrow night.

For some reason, I can’t seem to post this comment in the right location, but kudos to you for articulately laying out some of the issues and indicating why you are voting for Obama. I believe that our country is built upon the idea that we have a right to our own opinions. If anyone has a problem with you voicing yours, then he/she has lost sight of the foundation of our country. Regardless of the response you get, know that there is at least one blog-follower who supports you, your blog, and your candidate.

Thanks so much for your kids words and all the info you listed! I am so happy to share my passion with other parents & kids, and the best part is that it seems like every time I write a new review I stumble upon another great book I had forgotten about to add to my list of books to read & review. Thanks again for visiting my site and sharing it with all you readers!!
