Sunday Link Du Jour: January 20, 2008
This week our Link Du Jour comes from overseas. Telegraph – “Britain’s no. 1 quality newspaper website” – published their list of 100 books every child should read. Split into three age groups, the list starts hitting the fundamentals early: your Sendak, your Seuss, your White. Yes, the classics are encouraged, with an expected slant toward Brit authors. However, I really can’t disagree too much with a list that features no less than 5 titles by Roald Dahl. Click the logo below to take a look.
