School Library Journal’s Best Books 2003
As a public librarian in a small library, I don’t get to read the reviews in SLJ the way I used to when I worked in a larger library. So I look forward to lists like this, because SLJ picks different books to highlight than Booklist and other resources. I love to compare the overlap and to discover the new titles.

40 Books about the Seasons
In recognition of the 40th anniversary of the CCBC, these forty recommended titles are listed. There are quite a few on the list that I have never seen, and will have to take a look at.
