Welcome!

Dear Book Lovers, Welcome! I am delighted that you have found The Through the Looking Glass blog. For over twenty years I reviewed children's literature titles for my online journal, which came out six times a year. Every book review written for that publication can be found on the Through the Looking Glass website (the link is below). I am now moving in a different direction, though the columns that I write are still book-centric. Instead of writing reviews, I'm offering you columns on topics that have been inspired by wonderful books that I have read. I tell you about the books in question, and describe how they have have impacted me. This may sound peculiar to some of you, but the books that I tend to choose are ones that resonate with me on some level. Therefore, when I read the last page and close the covers, I am not quite the same person that I was when first I started reading the book. The shift in my perspective might be miniscule, but it is still there. The books I am looking are both about adult and children's titles. Some of the children's titles will appeal to adults, while others will not. Some of the adult titles will appeal to younger readers, particularly those who are eager to expand their horizons.

A new animated musical video from Barefoot Books

Barefoot Books is one of my favorite small publishing houses. They not only publish books, but they also have wonderful CDs and recently they started making short animated musical videos for children. Here is one of their new creations. It is called Up, Up, Up!



Other movies like this include:

Over in the meadow
If you're happy and you know it
Portside Pirates
Driving my tractor
The Animal Boogie

You can buy these movies on the Barefoot Books website. They are sold as an enhanced CD and there is a paperback book to go with them.
