One spin around the web for every week of the school year

Remember my post not long ago about the weekly bestseller list for children’s books at The New York Times site? Retrace your websteps, because we’re headed back there for the special section on children’s books that appeared in the NYT’s magazine a couple of weeks ago.
From a survey of recent young-adult fairy fiction right down to reviews of books about winter for the picture-book set, this is an excellent place to start your holiday book shopping for the junior bibliophiles in your life.
Included in the special section is the annual (since 1952, no less) list of best illustrated children’s books. (You know it’s year-end when you start seeing the “Best Of” lists. I was in denial that November is coming to a close, but now there’s nowhere to hide.) Each book in the list is reviewed so you don’t have to judge it by its, er…cover.
Keep scrolling so you don’t miss the last book on this year’s list, All the World, by Liz Garton Scanlon. She’s an impossibly talented Austin author, so show some local love and read this very favorable review.
See you next link!
