Discover books. Discuss books. Order

Welcome to Sonderbooks, an e-zine of book reviews by Sondra Eklund. In this site, you can find good books for yourself or for friends. You can hear about books to read, talk about books you've read, and order your own copies. Subscribe, and I'll notify you when I've posted the next issue, approximately every three weeks. Click on the title of the book to read the complete review. Happy New Year! For this issue, I'm starting off with a selection of books with daily readings to get you through the year. I've also added a new section to the website: Children and Books. You can think of it as either a weblog or a series of essays about reading to children and children reading. I'll add to it every time I post an issue of Sonderbooks. Today's entry is about starting out, getting a toddler to like books. Happy reading! January 10, 2005Daily Readings*****A
