One Book List is Not Enough!
I mentioned the list by Kirkus Reviews last week. Now I see the New York Public Library has posted a PDF of their top 100 titles for children for 2010. If you are interested in seeing what they recommend this year, visit this
site. I see some familiar titles, some titles I want to read, and again some titles I haven’t heard about yet. I guess I’ll have plenty to read for the next few weeks.
I recently read the picture book
It’s Christmas, David! by David Shannon. This one is right in line with his earlier title:
No, David! All the Christmas things children want to do, but shouldn’t, or accidently do is here with his hilarious illustrations. “No peeking!…No snitching!” “Be patient.” He is told. Oh, it is hard to wait for Christmas. Great fun, and the kids will know just what David is going through! (And their parents will, too!)
(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 to Nebraska school and public libraries.)
