Day 31: 8 Books I Loved as a Kid
Last year I joined in the Nester's 31 Days Series. I wrote about 31 Days of Good Reads, and it was a lot of fun.
This year I was musing about doing the 31 Days series again, but I wasn't loving any of my ideas. I didn't want to do just regular reviews again. I pondered something like "31 Days of Bookworm Living" - but I worried you guys might get bored just reading about me reading.
Then, inspiration struck! I'm always looking for new books to read to Eleanor, and I get asked questions about kids' books all the time. I decided that I'd do a series on 31 Days of Awesome Kids' Books.
Here are the basic details:
- I'll review one great kids' book every day for the month of October.
- I'll link up each review back to this original post, so that you can find them all together.
- I'll try to avoid Newbery Medal Winners and Caldecott Medal Winners, since those are pretty obviously awesome. I'm going to try hard to find books that I loved as a kid, or that I've recently discovered - which are fun and original, but which you may not be familiar with.
- I may have a giveaway or two - I've contacted a few publishers to see if any of them are interested in giving you guys some copies of the books I'll be reviewing.
Are you doing a 31 Days Series?
What's one of your favorite kids' books?
