Just received the published copy of summer '18 Canadian Children's Book News magazine. In it are my reviews of three highly recommended (Red Leaf Literature) books! @MrMattCJames @GroundwoodBooks @theaterclouds @TundraBooks @thaolamdraws @owlkids
The Skulduggery Pleasant MG novels are one of my absolute favourite series! Just finished reading the 10th book about the skeleton detective & Valkyrie Cain. Great characters, dialogue, humour, action, magic and more! @DerekLandy @HarperCollinsCh
@MollyIdle I shared "Flora and the Flamingo" with my K students today. They absolutely loved the book! It quickly became a favourite for them! And it already is one of my favourites. Beautiful wordless story, amazing illustrations! @ChronicleKids
To honour the memory of his grandfather, a young boy builds his own ship to seek out the place his grandfather mentioned, where the ocean meets the sky, where bookish birds roost in Library Islands and moon jellies dance. Gorgeous, gorgeous illos! @opifan64 @igo2cairo @SimonKIDS
Three of the great books by #RichardPeck that I've read. So sad to hear that #kidlit writer and advocate of children's books has been lost to us.
I reviewed this Cinderella retelling by @kevinarts when it 1st came out & enjoyed it a lot! Cindy's dream is to play hockey but the Blister Sisters block her. Cindy's Fairy Goaltender appears & provides white leather skates & a Zamboni! Great humour! @TundraBooks @kidsbookcentre
I love @lucyruth 's book about a hungry lion & a curious dwindling assortment of animals. A fun read-aloud w/ amazing illustrations. As animals start disappearing, no one is sure what is happening. Readers may be surprised as to who is the Last Animal Standing. @SimonSchusterCA
@rpWeston 's wonderful story is written as a series of tanka poems. The poetry is beautiful, the relationships between characters touching & poignant; & the illos by @MisaSaburi are just lovely. See my review of this great book in the new CCBN mag. @TundraBooks @kidsbookcentre
Absolutely love the adventures of Binky! Great character, great stories, great illustrations! Love them! @ashleyspires @KidsCanPress
I love the Winnie-the-Pooh books and I love the characters created by A. A. Milne. I love all the characters but I have an especial fondness for Eeyore. Today is the anniversary of A. A. Milne's birthday; he was born in 1882. Happy #WinniethePoohDay !
