Library Thing

One of my many hats in the Library is that of bibliographer for the Children's Collection. Ever since we've moved to the 2nd floor, I haven't been able to spend as much time in the Children's Collection, but I still do enjoy reading children's books. In some years, I've tried to keep lists of what I've read, but it's hard to keep up with that well.

So Library Thing is great! It was so easy to type in the titles and let Library Thing pull all the rest of the information from Amazon. Then I decided to try making a widget to put in my blog, and that was pretty easy too! So now you'll see a random display of the children's books I've read in 2007 on the right hand side of my blog.

By the way, my favorite so far this year is probably Copper Sun.

I love children's literature also and miss working with picture books. One of my favorites is, "Always Room for One More". It is one of the first books I learned in my undergrad storytelling course. Another favorite author of chapter books is Frances Temple. Have you read her book called, "The Ramsay Scallop"? Finally, my favorite author of historical fiction is Rosemary Sutcliff.

Do you have any favorite authors for children's literature?

I've never read anything from Frances Scallop, I don't think. I agree though about Rosemary Sutcliff. I've ready lots of her books!
