The Importance of Families Reading Together
Studies show that children who grow up in families that encourage literacy do better academically. Children love bed time stories and what could be better than to snuggle up with mom, dad, grandma or grandpa with a book. Even very young children love books. For them picture books hold wonderment and squeals of delight. In no time at all you can be whisked away to lands far away, magical kingdoms, flying dragons, and princesses. Children's imaginations are sparked by the delightful world of fa...

Mary Russel Writes Books for Kids Ages 8 and Up
When I first met Mary on line, she was writing about a horse and a llama, the first of her published books for kids. I can still remember the excitement among her online friends when Flickertail & Paint, Barnyard Sleuths first became available at Borders and Amazon. This was BIG! That was early last year, and in the meantime, Mary has been a very busy lady. She now has FOUR children's books published - three for teens / young adults, and one for younger children. More books for kids are in...

My Favorite Storybook for Kids - Sometimes I Like To Curl Up In A Ball
Are you looking for a storybook to read to your kids? Well, the wonderfully charming storybook for kids, Sometimes I Like To Curl Up In A Ball, written by Vicki Churchill, was a favorite in my home when my children were toddlers. Thinking about this storybook for kids brings back such warm memories of story time with my children, when the same favorite book could be read over and over, even hundreds of times, and still never get old (to the kids). Below you will find links to book reviews ab...

Judy Moody: Totally Rare!!
The first day of third grade puts Judy Moody in a mad-face mood. She just knows everyone will come back from summer vacation with word T-shirts, like "Disney World" or "Jamestown: Home of Pocahontas." All Judy has is a plain old no-words T-shirt. She'll have to go to a new classroom, with a new desk, and she won't have an armadillo sticker with her name on it like she did last year. And knowing her luck, she'll end up sitting next to Frank, the boy who eats paste. For breakfast her dad makes ...

Reading--My Best-Loved Childhood Memory
Books have always been an important part of my life. I suppose it's no surprise then, that some of my best childhood memories are of being read to by grandparents, mom and dad, uncles, aunts, older sisters. And of later discovering books that I loved to read by myself. Books create powerful memories. Some are fun just to read once or twice. Others stay with you forever. Do you have one or two or even more childhood favorites that you remember to this day? Magical stories that bring back memor...

So you're looking for leprechaun books: you've come to the right place.

Here you will find some of the best books with leprechauns that I remember and some new ones that I think will be perfect for any kid. But adults, don't despair! Shown here is ...

Newbery Medal Winners, 1950-1959
Newbery Medal Winners, 1950-1959
At the beginning of this decade, Newbery Medal winning children's books (and Newbery Honor Books) were still fairly simplistic, but by the end, we're favored with an outstanding historical novel, The Witch of Blackbird Pond, that sets a precedent for the increased quality of children's books in the years to come. Not to say there aren't some fine "simplistic" books in this list. Some of my favorites were honor books rather than Newbery Medal winners. My sites: Literature For Kids Perspectiv...
