The Children’s Literature Assembly has announced their 2005 Notables List of Children’s Books in the English Language Arts. The list contains many of my favorites of the year and others that I haven’t read yet.
Month: May 2005
Independent Publishers Group
Independent Publishers Group is a book distributor for independent publishers around the world. One section and catalog is dedicated to children’s books. I am disappointed that there are virtually no pictures in the online catalog. With children’s books in particular, I think that graphics are a necessary part of a catalog.
YA Authors
Young Adult Authors Who Blog is a LiveJournal that specializes in listing YA authors who also have LiveJournals. Authors with other types of blogs are also listed. This is a great resource for filling your blogroll or for giving a talk on the power of blogging.
