review 1: I really enjoyed this book as the opinions are by a wide variety of authors, illustrators and reviewers who all have had a life-time reading habit. They cite many books that I know and love, but also have added to what I know and am sure will love. I also like that rather than say a child must read this, the child's opinion is valued. Letting your child make decisions, even at an early age, as their opinions should be valued and you end up with a reader!
review 2: Roger Sutton's expertise is evident throughout this book. Designed as a guide through children's literature, he gives a little bit of history, author interviews, book recommendations, and insight about what kids want to read. He introduces each section of the book and his voice is evident through... moreout the collection. Authors reflect on genres, their own experiences with writing and reading, and tell about their craft. It's a beautiful compilation and I recommend it for serious parents, librarians, and professionals that want to know more about today's children's literature. The recommended title lists are short but very good. less
