My 7-year-old is detoxing from his computer/Wii binging that I allowed during our Christmas break from school. Yes, he read (mostly Calvin and Hobbes), but I’ve weaned him off unlimited electronics time, and I’m back to encouraging “real” books for him that meet his school reading requirement, and I’m gently nudging my 13-year-old to choose…

Kids’ Picks, December 13
It’s that time again. Perhaps the suggestions of books that your kids have enjoyed reading will fall on the right ears — people looking for holiday gifts for their own children or nieces and nephews or grandkids. I know that books are definitely going under my tree! I linked up my own post below, and…
Kids’ Picks – November 8
While I’ve been enjoying my work as a Round I panelist in the Cybils Middle Grade Fiction category, my kids haven’t been reading along with me as much as I had hoped. Most of the titles are too old for 2nd grader Kyle, and my 8th grader Amanda, while interested in some of the titles…

I am so happy to report that my kids’ reading has been pretty consistent this summer. For Kyle (age 7), he finally reached the point where he actually wanted to read. When we were at the library last week, he was so happy to find nine Geronimo Stilton books, 6 of which he hadn’t read,…
Kids’ Picks (Better late than never)
It’s summer. Summer — as in a chance to sleep in late(ish) every once in a while, the opportunity to have days here and there with no schedule or appointments. Unfortunately summer seeped into my brain, and I completely forgot about Kids’ Picks! I remembered on Thursday afternoon, and we decided that we’d just post…
Kids’ Picks or Cybils Reviews – June
I don’t know about you, but I am thrilled with the return of Kids’ Picks! You can also continue to link any Cybils reviews that are also supposed to be books high on literary merit and kid-appeal. We are already a couple of weeks into summer here in Houston (summer vacation that is — summer…
