We haven't been to the library this week and so have been trawling our way through old favourites, most often Toddle Waddle and Shirley Hughes' Chatting, Giving, and Bouncing. So I don't have a book to recommend today, but thought instead that I'd mention the book blog to end all others: Slightly Addicted to Fiction.
Its authored by one of the lovely ladies my Mum used to work with at CMIS; she is now a judge for the Children's Book Council Book of the Year awards. Her prolific website is full of information about books, publishing, reviews and literary awards, with a particular emphasis on children's fiction. Each week she has a list of links to articles about books/authors/awards that have recently appeared in newspapers, magazines and journals. Today she has a post about Australian authors because April is Aussie Author Month.
If you're trying to decide on a book for a present and need some inspiration, or are wondering what to read next yourself, her site is well worth a visit.
