2008 Notable Children's Books

Before we say adieu to 2008, let me say THANK YOU to all you BFK readers, subscribers and visitors. Since I launched this blog in May 2008, BFK has received considerable traffic from book lovers around the world. I hope that BFK's reviews, essays and articles on children's literature have helped you in many ways.

As we end the year, I would like to share with you two important lists that should aid you in selecting quality literature for your children and students.

• The Association for Library Service to Children (ALSC) has listed the 2008 Notable Children's Books. The list already includes the current year's Newbery, Caldecott, Belpré, Sibert, Geisel, and Batchelder Award and Honor books.
• The National Education Association (NEA) shares the Teachers' Top 100 Children's Books. The list was compiled from an online survey in 2007.

Here's to another year of books and reading magic! Have a Happy New Year.
