    The Other Dog by Madeleine L'Engle. The story is told by Touche L'Engle (a poodle) about the family bringing home a baby. I love to give to the older sibling when I give a gift to a new baby.

    I have a lot of favorites! I have written several children's books. Some have had second look from publishers, beyond the original rejection letter. I was thinking on publishing them on Kindle. Do you have any experience or recommendations on that? If not, that is ok. I really enjoyed reading this and Squid Angel blessed!

Of all the books I've read and reviewed on my blog last year, I would say When You Reach Me, by Rebecca Stead, or Slob, by Ellen Potter are among my favorites. I also love Stargirl, by Jerry Spinelli. Okay, I'll stop.

    I am returning to congratulate you on LotD. Also, to sprinkle a blessing. I may have mentioned before that I find children's books to be the finest literature available to readers of all ages. Some of my happiest moments have been spent in the children's section of public libraries. I appreciate your spotlight on award-winning children's literature. Thank you!

    Thanks for a great lens! I'm always on the lookout for good new books for my 8-year-old daughter, and you've got some great suggestions here! I think our personal favorite book for years has been The Magic Nesting Doll by Jacqueline K. Ogburn and stunningly illustrated by Laurel Long. It's a magical story of a girl in Russia who saves a prince with the aid of a magic nesting doll. Good stuff!

    You can't go wrong with a Mo Willems book. I anxiously await the new Pigeon book that is due out in April. Willems should have won the Geisel award... who cares that he's either won it or been an honorable mention like four times already! However, I was disappointed that ABA chose Children Make Terrible Pets for the E.B. White. The book makes for a terrible read.
  • RawBill Feb 19, 2012 @ 2:12 pm | delete
    It is hard to choose just one favourite, so I will choose a series instead. When I was growing up Enid Blyton books were extremely popular and one of her best series in my mind was the Famous Five series. They always had me eager for more adventure and could not wait to read the next one. Congrats on LOTD :-)
  • fenellashorty Feb 19, 2012 @ 2:01 pm | delete

    I love that "We Are in a Book" received an Honorable mention. (Though truthfully I think Mo Willems should win every year.) I think it is the only Gerald and Piggie book I haven't figured out how to act out for storytime.

    Some great choices here. I love my Nancy Drew and Hardy Boys mysteries and still own both sets. Hopelessly outdated ... but they're still fun to re-read.

    I'm looking forward to seeing the 2011 children's choice award books. My favorite children's book is Paper Bag Princess.

    Wonderful lens! Me & my wife normally purchase children's books that have been awarded and with good feedback. We'll surely purchase these books.

    Great lens! These children's books are great; I'll read them to my kids when I settle down and start a family... Though by that time, new books will probably take their place...

    From this lens my favourite kids books have always been the Madeleine books. I love the Madeleine series on TV as well. It's definitely about time Madeleine was inducted into a Books Hall of Fame.
