Recommended "Reading"
I've been listening to the Children's Bookshelf since before it was a podcast. A great way to discover some gems. Each episode provides a brief synopsis of a book as well as an informed evaluation of both visual artwork and story. There are often little-known "behind the scenes" facts about the books and authors as well. This resource is produced by seasoned university professors in coordination with public radio: a professional product. Enjoy!
