What's new?
February 5, 2012
Announcing the 2011 Sonderbooks Stand-outs! I'm ranking my favorite books read in 2011 and will be giving each review page a special seal. I already announced the titles and my reasoning on my blog, but now I've got the permanent page up.
My #5 pick in Children's Fiction was The Chronicles of Harris Burdick: 14 Authors Tell the Tales, illustrated by Chris Van Allsburg. In this book, 14 outstanding authors have written stories from the pictures and caption set out 25 years ago in The Mysteries of Harris Burdick.
Happy reading!
