Kids Corner: First Quarter 2012

First quarter 2012 has been spare on the blogging front, but it’s been busy and delightful on the home front from my perspective!  Strawberry is now five weeks old, and Raisin and I are starting to settle in to a routine again of reading picture books. I’m reading Strawberry The Secret Garden aloud, and occasionally

2012 Caldecott and Geisel Awards Announced!

I suspect that most children’s lit readers of this blog have already discovered the announcements for the ALA Youth Media Awards, but nevertheless, I really wanted to give my thoughts, since this year I made a huge effort to read the recently published children’s picture books as a part of the Cybils 2011 nomination process.

Kids’ Corner: Fairy Tale Caldecotts and More Miscellany

Today, I’m using the opportunity of not having any other reviews written to share thoughts on kid’s books I reviewed a long time ago and never posted. Some of these are ones my son loved; others he was too young for at the time we read them and we will probably visit them again in

Kids’ Corner: Caldecott Miscellany

While searching my computer files for something last week, I found reviews of some Caldecott winners that I wrote at various points in the past two years. Although these books are not, for the most part, books I’ve read aloud to my son, I still found them interesting. A few I had strong negative opinions

Consistency Errors in Goodnight Moon and Other Book Issues for an Obsessive One-Year-Old

My son (almost age 23 months) insists on reading the same books every night, usually three or four or five times. I’m very glad he loves to read, but I’m getting a bit weary of picture books. I do think we’ve had some winners in our Library Loot the past two weeks, though, so I

Baby’s Monday Salon: Dogs, Trains, and Simple Illustrations

It’s been a while since I’ve reviewed what my son (age 21 months) is reading, so I thought I’d jump in and mention some highlights. It’s so much fun to see my son loving reading. He’s also definitely developing preferences and favorite things in his life, so now his reading is becoming focused on what

Caldecott Corner Author Spotlight: Simms Taback

Simms Taback has an illustration style all his own. His children’s picture book illustrations are often a blend of watercolor, gouache (an opaque watercolor painting), pencil, ink, collage, and I even observed some crayon illustrations. His colors are bright and his books have subtle jokes in the illustrations (for the parents to find). So far,
