I majored in English Lit (Minored in Linguistics) and one of my favourite classes was my Children's Lit class. We got to meet a few of the authors and hear them read some of their books. Robert Munsch is one of my favourites. You should hear him read "Love You Forever". Has Maya ever read "The Paperbag Princess"? Fabulous post, J! Right up my alley!

I totally misread yesterdays, and though she was going to the groomers next week. I have to come over and tell her she looks Beau-teee-ful. Nice selection of books. Maya always loved being read to at night before bed. Vieve, well she is getting all the hard stuff out of the way. I totally misread yesterdays, and though she was going to the groomers next week.

Zoe and her friends are really into the Twilight series. We tried her with the Warriors last year, but she didn't get into it. Maybe she should try it again. Cool list.

We're going to find the Demi books based on your recommendations. One of my favorite children's authors caught me first because of her breath-taking illustrations: Janell Cannon. Her story 'Verdi' is one of my favorite stories ever. We read it again and again. http://friend.ly.net/users/jorban/biographies/cannonjanell/ I love your books posts, they give me great library ideas.

I haven't found this to be true yet, my kids aren't really old enough, but I hear from moms that it's easier to get kids to read at a young age but harder to encourage it when they're in high school. If anyone had experience that way I'd welcome the suggestions. Great suggestions, we just read Sylvester this week and my boys loved Gary Paulsen’s books.

It's a cute picture book. Country Dawn, I did think that the Phantom Tollbooth read like a book written well before 1988, but of course Amazon has the most recent publication date or something like that. Now I wonder how I missed it for all of those years! YummY, I LOVED Little Toot as a child. LOVED it. Almost named my dog Little Toot, actually. Good thing I had an older brother who wouldn't allow it. ;) Sheliza, I think you and Conner will really enjoy So Much. It’s a cute picture book.

Other Childrens books I enjoyed and would reccomend are: "The Chalk Box Kid" by Clyde Robert Bulla a boy makes friends because of a burnt out factory and a box of chalk. "Little Toot" by Hardie Gramatky - Little Toot the tugboat conquers his fear of rough seas when he single-handedly rescues an ocean liner during a storm. and "Beauty" by Bill Wallace about a boy who falls in love with an old horse named Beauty, refusing younger horses better suited to a young boy. Another Bill Wallace book I really loved was "A Dog Called Kitty." Actually, I recommend ALL of Bill Wallace's books. -smile- I don't have kids myself, but I love reading from the childrens section when I want something quick and fun to read.
