Recommending children's books and other resources for babies through 6th grade and occasionally just stuff.
Sorry to say, but carpal tunnel and cubital tunnel have forced me on a hiatus for a while. So, in the meantime enjoy the holidays, read lots and lots of books, and give lots and lots of books to everyone. Oh, and one of many books I would recommend giving is the recent release of Andrew Clements, Dogku. Excellent use of the hiaku style of poetry with a found stray dog as its lead character.

"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.
