This blog is essentially a list of children's books that I have enjoyed (or didn't but might recommend anyway). They are tagged for age level and other searchable characteristics. Please comment on anything you'd like to see to make this a useful tool for you when looking for books that children (or those young at heart) might enjoy. - Anthea Bailie
