Elementary Library Site

| Tasha

If you want to see an incredible public library site for children, take a look at The Early Elementary Library from the Public Library of Charlotee and Mecklenburg County. It has interactive features, a separate section for pre-schoolers, guides to children’s literature, recommended books, and much more all done with a sense of humor, great style, and warm spirit.

Wisconsin Authors & Illustrators

| Tasha

Wisconsin Identification Record 2004 is compiled by the CCBC and lists Wisconsin authors and illustrators who do children’s books. This is a great resource for librarians in the state who are looking to book an author and can immediately see who lives nearby.

All I Want Is the Truth

If you haven’t seen the incredible John Lennon: All I Want is the Truth, visit the site to read reviews, preview the book, and learn more about Elizabeth Partridge, the author.

Raby Compared to Rowling

| Tasha

I know, we have heard it before, but once again a newspaper is saying that a new Children’s author is tipped to match Harry Potter magic. The author in this case is Lucy Daniel Raby who has written a story about Father Christmas, Nickolai of the North which has become quite a success in Britain. Certainly one to put on the reading list when it is released in the U.S.
