Kidlitosphere is a collection of children’s lit bloggers, as well as librarians, parents, and other suspects. One of the fabulous things about kidlitosphere is their searchable database of book reviews, giving you easy access to a reasonably detailed review of books you may be scoping out for your child. While most book reviews do not give explicit content guidelines, as Ink Spells does, you can often gleen that information from the reviews themselves.
I’m too late to weigh in on the KidLitosphere 2010 Comment Challenge, but in an effort to keep one of my 2010 resolutions, here are five noteworthy blogs related Middle Grade, kids, books, that sort of thing:
Brimful Curiosities: A blog about children’s books, by a mom and reader.
In Need of Chocolate: And who isn’t? This one has awesome Book Lists!
Abby (the) Librarian: She has an impressive list of both MG and YA reviews.
The Boy Reader: A teacher focused on keeping boys reading – a man after my own heart!
Check them out!
Thanks for mentioning Brimful Curiosities! Will keep an eye on your blog for book ideas to use in upcoming years with my kids!
Awesome! My New Year's resolution is to be a more active commenter, so I should be back to the Brimful C. – it looks interesting!
Thanks for stopping by!
Thanks so much for mentioning my blog. I look the reviews you have here.
You have an interesting blog. I look forward to checking in often.
Sarah and Kathy – thanks!
Kathy – I hope the flood has subsided and you have time to check back for my post tommorrow about kids and media. I would love your take on it!
Found you via the comment challenge. Sorry you didn't get in on it early enough. I'll be back!
Welcome to the Kidlitosphere!
Hullo, just followed you back from a comment you left for me on Mike Stellar….was fully expecting you to be crazy after the day I have had at the library. Somebody must have put crazy magnets down my back. Ah, the relief, you are obviously NOT crazy and I will add you to my reader. Good luck on that scifi book!
Charlotte – thanks! Can I just say how cool I think it is that you are an archeologist? On a scale of 1-10 in coolness, that's an 11 – the Indiana Jones level of cool!
Jennifer – It's a good day when someone stops by and says "Hey! You're not really crazy!" Ha! Sorry about the crazy magnets, I promise I didn't put them there. And I just finished writing a post to plug Mike Stellar, and decrying the lack of scifi books for kids. I hope you'll stop back when it posts tommorrow!
