Planet Esme
I was sent this blog the other day by a colleague here at work and I thought I would share it with all of you. She stated that this site is also a favorite of childrens librarians around the country. It is a site called PlanetEsme Book-A-Day Plan: The Best New Children's Books from Esme's Shelf. According to Esme's profile she is a "professional readiologist who thinks children's trade literature is our best hope for equalizing education in America". On the site she reviews one, two, sometimes three childrens books a day.
The reason it was sent to me was due to the fact that local author Sue Stauffacher is featured on the blog on June 12th and she is rated by Esme as her favorite children's author! Just to let you in on a little secret, Sue Stauffacher will be at the Grand Rapids Public Library for our event "Celebration of the Book" this coming October.
