Book Reviews on the Internet

Summer is heating up and winding down at the same time. Perhaps you have a bit of time to explore what is available on the Internet. Here are a few sites readers would find interesting.

The reviews I read were written from the point of view of a character in the book. You can search by genre or by level.

Notable Books from the American Library Association

Find out which books from 2009 have been recommended. From the site:

Each year a committee of the Association for Library Service to Children (ALSC) identifies the best of the best in children's books. According to the Notables Criteria, "notable" is defined as: Worthy of note or notice, important, distinguished, outstanding. As applied to children's books, notable should be thought to include books of especially commendable quality, books that exhibit venturesome creativity, and books of fiction, information, poetry and pictures for all age levels (birth through age 14) that reflect and encourage children's interests in exemplary ways.

The Canadian Children's Book Centre

Find resources for librarians and teachers. Check out the awards section - all books are by Canadian authors with Canadian content.
