Weekend Update, Dec. 6-7

Chicken Spaghetti's own roundup of Year's Best Children's Books is growing. Take a peek.

For a really !wow! best of the best, including books for adults, don't miss Largehearted Boy's 2008 Year-End Online Book List.

Here's fun stop on your blogosphere tour today: Florian Cafe: Poetry Commotion. Douglas Florian is the author and artist behind such grand children's books as Insectlopedia, Laugh-eteria, and Comets, Stars, the Moon, and Mars, among many others. Camille at Book Moot first introduced me to Florian's work, and my son and I are so glad she did.

In celebration of its third anniversary on December 17th, Jen Robinson's Book Page hosts the Carnival of Children's Literature. Bloggers, don't forget to submit your favorite blog post of the year by December 15th. Use the submission form at the Blog Carnival web site. Readers unfamiliar with blog carnivals can find an explanation here. It's from an older post, but the information still pertains.

Nonfiction Monday, a roundup of NF titles for kids, is at Picture Book of the Day on 12/8, as usual.
