The Bard's Books

My second assignment for Children's Lit is to examine the evaluation criteria for informational books. I don't often read this genre of books so it was nice to have a reason to explore some really great ones.  I especially enjoyed Balloons Over Broadway, since I'm a huge puppeteer and Jim Henson fan.

For assignment #1, I read and evaluated several children's books, focusing on visual elements and evaluation criteria. I really enjoy a class where the assignment is to read, especially if it includes a picture book by Jon Klassen. Click here to check it out!

Watch out! The Book Banshee is back! I just started my Master's program at SHSU in Library Science with the end goal being a career change from music teacher to school librarian in the somewhat near future. For my degree, I have to maintain a blog about books. This cued a faint memory of blogging about books for a brief period years ago. Lo and behold, the blog still exists. Today, I am restarting this blog with the intention of continuing it for far long than the first time. If you still get notifications from posting, your mailbox is about to get busier and more fun!
