Recommending children's books and other resources for babies through 6th grade and occasionally just stuff.
Take a minute to check out The Edge of the Forest's latest edition. My favorite is the Kids Pick section as it has some interesting viewpoints on book favorites from none other then kids. There is also an interview with children's writer and poet, Heidi Roemer and many other good articles and book reviews.

"The love of learning, the sequestered nooks, and all the sweet serenity of books." Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1807-1882), U.S. poet
"No book is really worth reading at the age of ten which is not equally (and often far more) worth reading at the age of fifty and beyond." C.S. Lewis (1898-1963), English author
With fond memories of years in the library as a kid, I finally indulged myself late in life and earned a Master’s in Library Science with a focus on children’s and electronic services. Of course, this was after about 15 years where I actually used my business degree and “counted beans”, but then remembered I liked books much better, especially children’s literature. In addition, I have spent a few years in an elementary school library after which I put on a read aloud program for 1st through 3rd graders. Here I am offering my knowledge of children’s books and resources to help those looking for something special or just a fun read. Don’t forget to check out the book resources listed for other ideas.

Thanks so much for your kind comments. I was a bit concerned that none of the books they ended up choosing were particularly new - but I think we still ended up with a good variety of selections and a good ideas as to what the different kids liked and why.
Thanks again!
Louise
