Call for Guest Bloggers in Classic Children's Literature
Hello everyone!
I spend so much time these days trying to review so many great children's books out there, that I've sadly neglected what I originally wanted to do - review and recommend some of those great children's books from the past. You know, books like Little Women, The Secret Garden, the Little Prince, The Wonderful Flight to the Mushroom Planet, Oz books, etc. Any book you came across as a child or adult that made a profound impact, the ones that made you love kidlit.
If you're interested in reviewing, add a comment with the title of your book/s that you want to review and then I'll get you set up with a guest account so you can post away. It's that simple. There is no deadline and no end date.
I'm hoping some of the wonderful Children's Lit bloggers on my blogroll will contribute.
Gracias!

Done! I'll contact you via email with a password - you should get an invite from blogger. Thank you so much for contributing to this project. The titles you chose are all wonderful and some of my favorites.
I just got "the mark of the horse lord" by rosemary sutcliff out the library. If you want, as soon as I'm done I'll let you know & send you that review. It was published in 1965; there is a 2006 reissue (with a very cool cover, IMHO.)
Liz,
This sounds wonderful and I'd love to post your review on it. Send it via email and I'll post it right away with your name and a link to your blog on the review.
Best,
G.

Strawberry Girl

This is SO what I love! I've been reading tons of the "classics" so that I can decide which ones will work for read-alouds. If you'd like, I could review:
Pinocchio
Anne of Green Gables
Otto of the Silver Hand
The Lost Island
Wheel on the School
Mary Poppins
and Secret Garden
We've just read all thse and they are such wonderful read-alouds. We're in the midst of reading Swallows and Amazons -- what a great one that is too!
