If you’re not familiar with The Edge of the Forest<\/a><\/strong><\/em>, a monthly online journal devoted to children’s literature, then let me make your day by telling you about it. Kelly Harold of Big A little a<\/a><\/strong> is the journal’s Editor and Webmaster, and every month she and her editorial board and team of contributors bring you book reviews, interviews with blogging authors, a “Best of the Blogs” column, a once-a-month round-up of children’s favorite books, and much more. (And, ooh! ooh! This month, they bring us “Sounds From the Forest<\/a><\/strong>,” in which Andrea and Mark of Just One More Book!!<\/a><\/strong> talk to Kelly and Anne Boles Levy<\/a><\/strong>, the founders of the Cybils Award<\/a><\/strong>, about the genesis of the award and how blogging has changed children’s book reviewing today). <\/p>\n

Anyway, Yours Truly also contributed a feature in the December issue of this informative online journal. So, if you’d like to read reviews of four recently-published picture books with rhyming text — all nominated for a Cybil Award in the Picture Book (Fiction) category — then, by all means, go here<\/a><\/strong> to do so. The featured books are: Estelle Takes a Bath<\/a><\/em><\/strong> by Jill Esbaum<\/a><\/strong> and illustrated by Mary Newell DePalma<\/a><\/strong>; Sail Away, Little Boat<\/a><\/em><\/strong> by Janet Buell and illustrated by Jui Ishida<\/a><\/strong>; Stoo Hample’s Book of Bad Manners<\/a><\/strong><\/em> by none other than Stoo Hample<\/a><\/strong>; and The Red Lemon<\/a><\/strong><\/em> by Bob Stakke<\/a><\/strong>. There are also, as usual, many other reviews by other contributors in this month’s journal. Enjoy!<\/p>\n
