I like to follow the field of children’s literature, to see what kids read besides Harry Potter.<\/em> Two blogs on children’s books, both established in the past year:<\/p>\n

“Read Roger<\/a>,” by Roger Sutton, the editor of Horn Book<\/em> magazine. Horm Book<\/em> is the pre-eminent review of children’s literature in the United States. By turns delightfully snarky and wonderfully incisive, “Read Roger” offers news about the children’s book world, and well-written, wide-ranging commentary about children’s books, literature, and culture.<\/p>\n

“Children and Books<\/a>,” by Abby Kingsbury, the children’s librarian for the Town of Harvard, Massachusetts, public library. This is a brand-new blog, and so far what she writes about is the intersection of children’s books and real life. In the June 6th entry, Abby visits a public school class and reads the book Beatrice’s Goat<\/em> aloud, and then gets the kids excited about Heifer Project. Even if Abby didn’t happen to be my sister, I’d still follow this well-written blog.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
