Ode to Children’s Book Review Bloggers
It’s the time of year when I start getting very excited about next year’s book budget. I try to get the bulk of my collection development done before September, because I simply get too busy after that. Now I’m diving into my stacks of torn & annotated SLJs, notes from the suggestion box and archived emails form various journals & listservs. But my favorite book buying pastime of all is searching through the archives of my favorite book review bloggers.
If I had the stamina and discipline, I’d be blogging every good book I read this year. Alas, it doesn’t see to be happening. How do they manage it?
Here are my favorites, I’d love to hear if you have other recomendations.
Everyone should read the truly wonderful Planet Esme: planetesme.blogspot.com

Browsing through their fun & informative reviews makes me realize just how super duper my job is. Looking for great kids books to buy - how much fun IS this?!
Hey, thanks for linking to my blog! I’m so pleased that you find my reviews useful.
