Book reviews of children's books:

I used to think that there were no good children's books back when I was a child. The only good ones that I remember were books on science. I recently read three of the Nancy Drew mysteries, and I am not very impressed. Well, I am slowly discovering that I was wrong. I recently read Charlotte's Web, very good (I will review it soon). And there were Winnie the Pooh, and Tolkien. And I am sure that there were more. Some of these books are for small children, others are major projects (like Harry Potter). See Katie's Favorites, Some Children's Books for a few books for toddlers.
