Last month, I mentioned reading Neil Gaiman's Fortunately, The Milk. I can hardly claim to be a trend-setter, as it came out in 2013, but it was new to me, and reminded me of a whole host of other "Funny + Charming Books for Children Age 6-10" which I catalogued here.

Wide Eyed Editions, aka, Beautiful Non-Fiction Children’s Books
In perusing the children's non-fiction shelves earlier this week, I discovered a new press imprint called Wide Eyed Editions. They publish gorgeous, full-color, large-scale children's non-fiction picture books out of The Quatro Group.

Book Review: The Geography of You and Me by Jennifer E. Smith
I'm an unabashed fan of Jennifer E. Smith. I say unabashed because she doesn't write what I typically read, and sometimes when I read things outside of my norm, I feel like I have to justify them.

Top Ten Tuesday: Top Ten “Gateway” Books/Authors In My Reading Journey
The Broke and the Bookish, a brilliant book blog, hosts a weekly top ten list meme. I like this meme because I like lists.
