Happy May everyone, the May and June 2012 issue of Through the Looking GlassChildren’s Book Reviews is now online for you to look at.
May and June are the
months when summer finally makes itself felt, at least around here in Oregon. Winter coats and sweaters are put
into boxes or are tucked away on high shelves, and bathing suits are tried on
to see if they still fit. The sun is warm, and children are happy to spend
their play time out of doors. There is a delightful collection of books about
summer on the TTLG Summer
Days page, with books for
readers of all ages.
Summer is also a time
when many people are very busy in their gardens. If you want to share your love
of gardening with the children in your life, take a look at the In
the Garden Feature. You will find both fiction and nonfiction titles here
that will interest children and young people who are eager to try out their
green thumbs.
For this month's
special feature I am looking at books
that are about music and musicians. The books will include both fiction and
nonfiction titles that explore the world of music, and that tell us stories
about musicians of all kinds. You will find tales that will inspire you and
amuse you, and who knows, you may even decide to try making some music of your
own.
For this month's
Editor's Choice title, I have selected Above World, by Jenn
Resse. This novel will take readers ages 9 to 12 to a futuristic world where
humans have new challenges to face if they are going to survive.
Finally, take a look
at the new Bookish
Calendar. Here you will find
reviews about Nellie Bly, Mother's Day, Paul Gauguin, a horse called
Seabiscuit, and much more. This calendar is a great tool to use at home and in
the classroom to help children incorporate books more fully into their lives.
-:Bookish Events for May
and June:-
I hope you find a way to
celebrate some, if not all, of these bookish events. If I have missed an
important bookish event, please drop me a line to tell me about it.
Enjoy!
Enjoy!
