What’s Sally Reading?

Submit a Nomination for an Amazing Audiobook for Teens, YALSA is requesting suggestions for audiobooks published in 2011 or 2012 that you believe are outstanding.  If you listen to audio books, or if your teens are enthusiastic about a title or titles, go here to complete the suggestion form.  The committee is asking for librarians to submit more suggestions for this annual list.  Any title included on the most recent list, found here, is not eligible for next year’s list. Goodnight, Goodnight Construction Site by Sherri Duskey Rinker and illustrated by Tom Lichtenheld will be a good picture book choice for the upcoming summer reading program.  It is a poetic look at various machinery working at a construction site.  Four pages each tell of a particular machine and its work on the building, then that it is time for sleep.  Clever illustrations show a cement truck with a blanket only covering a part of his drum, and a bulldozer snuggling into the piles of dirt that look like a bed.  Sure to be a hit at story time! (The Nebraska Library Commission receives free copies of children’s and young adult books for review from a number of publishers.  After review, the books are distributed free, via the Regional Library Systems, to Nebraska school and public libraries.)
