Part 5: Early Readers Are you familiar with the Whitman’s Sampler? The Sampler takes the best chocolates in the world and throws them all in one box for you to enjoy. I can’t say that Whitman’s was the inspiration for The 100 Scope Notes Best of the Best of the Best, but I have to […]
Part 4: Graphic Novels I’ve said it before: I love lists. I think that it’s an inherent trait librarians posses. I love lists so much (especially those of the “year-end”, “best-of” persuasion) that I decided to make a book-related master list to sum up 2007.

I’ve taken every year-end list I could find (see below), threw them in my children’s lit blender, and hit “frappé”. […]
Part 2: Picture Books (Non-fiction) The wrapping up of the year in children’s lit continues today with non-fiction picture books.

From the big names (Horn Book, School Library Journal) to the names which carry lesser weight in the children’s lit world (Miami Herald anyone?), no list went un-poured over (see below). I noted […]
A little bit back, Wizards Wireless tagged me for a “7 Things About Me” meme. I kept the tagging going and learned about some other savvy children’s lit bloggers in the process. Here are some of the folks who took part: We learned a little about… Book Buds Breeni Books A Wrung Sponge A Year […]

Imagine if everyone’s workplace exterior represented what was going on inside. I know that the people at Longaberger would approve. In my web travelings I recently stumbled upon the following images. This one is of the exterior of the Cardiff, UK library: This next one is of the library in Kansas City, MO: More information […]
Mwuuuuuuaaaaaahhahaha!* Apparently, this is the message that 4th and 5th graders want to proclaim from the mountain tops if given half a chance. Well, at least some. When I first stated blogging with my students two years ago (Aught 5 y’all), I didn’t know how best to go about it. In my role as Media […]
