Welcome to the Features!

In this section you’ll find:

  • Expanded reviews of recommended children’s books
  • Articles about the world of children’s book publishing
  • Author and illustrator feature articles
  • Children’s book publisher feature articles

I only review books, authors, illustrators, and publishers that I have read ourselves and read to children. My goal is to provide you with a good source of great books for your kids. All photos are taken by me of either my own copies of each book or copies that I borrowed from the library. In each review I tell you why I feel the book is good, tidbits of background material, and details about how to use the book with your own kids, including type of book, age range, and reading level. You’ll also find tips about how to get a copy of your very own for your home library.
