Last fall 5 children’s library bloggers generously donated their time and blogs to help promote the new Bell Awards by talking about books they liked for each of the five Bell Award categories. This week I’m finally posting my belated thanks. Each day I will highlight one of the great blogs from the tour, link to what they wrote for the tour, as well as some posts I like from each blog.
Laura at LibLaura5 took on writing a post for the READ category, and boy is that appropriate because her blog is all about celebrating reading–her reading, her students’ reading, and her family’s reading. Don’t miss her super-fun review of Mr Tiger Goes Wild!
Laura was a first-round judge in the Cybil’s picture book category and is sharing out some of the books on the list in a lighthearted way in her “Cybils Superlatives” posts–so far for the widest books, the snowiest, and the “Minnesot-iest” complete with author interviews and book trailers.
I ESPECIALLY loved her posts detailing her year-and-a-half journey on the Caldecott Challenge to read ALL of the Caldecott medalists and honor books. SOMEDAY I will do this too! But in the meantime I can look at the photo collages she put together for each title–four little details she loved in each book. What a tribute!
Thank you, Laura!
