My friend Laurel Snyder has started up a new blog called Kid*Lit(erary)<\/a>, which features “micro-reviews of the very very very very very best children’s books in the world.”<\/p>\n

“You might ask why a 32 year old (young) woman is reading children’s books,” Snyder writes in an early post. “And I could tell you that it’s because I’m a children’s author (which I am) but that would only be a partial truth. Because I’ve been reading (and re-reading) the same books for 25 years, and I’ve only been a children’s author for two of those years… But now I want NEW books, books that will live up to the standards of the books I love.” So far, she seems to be putting together an interesting mix, juxtaposing classics like The 13 Clocks<\/i> with newer stories like Olivia Kidney<\/i>.
