The Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books has published its list of the best books of the year. The picture book choices seem to lean to the silly side, something I really appreciate. And I see that Kipling’s Choice by Geert Spillebeen is on their list. That’s one that I haven’t read yet, but have seen mentioned again and again recently. One for my To Be Read list.

Kipling’s choice (by Geert Spillebeen) is marvellous. Read Colleen Mondor’s comment on http://www.bookslut.com (December 2005 issue)

KIPLING’s CHOICE by Geert Spillebeen is one of the most outstanding war books I have ever read, period, and as someone who majored in U.S. Military History, I have read a lot about war. The fact that this is about Rudyard Kipling and his son only makes it that much more fascinating and somehow, that much sadder as well.
