2007 Notable Children's Books

The 2007 Notable Children's Books from ALSC. Click on the link for the full list.

I'm only including the ones I've read or reviewed. Star means it made my Best Books list; ... indicates omissions.

Younger Readers

...

Gravett, Emily. Wolves. Read it at work, loved it; story is great for older kids, wonderful design.

Grey, Mini. The Adventures of the Dish and the Spoon. Another book I read at work & haven't blogged about yet; also good for older kids. Like Wolves, adults will laugh themselves silly. Proof that picture books doesn't mean "little kids."

...

Hills, Tad. Duck & Goose.

...

McLimans, David. Gone Wild: An Endangered Animal Alphabet.

...

Pinkney, Jerry. The Little Red Hen. Read it at work; liked it; but because I read it at work didn't have time to take notes on it to make a post.

...

Seeger, Laura Vaccaro. Black? White! Day? Night! A Book of Opposites.

...


Middle Readers

...

Brown, Susan Taylor. Hugging the Rock. *

Demi. Su Dongpo: Chinese Genius.

...


Older Readers

...

Holm, Jennifer L. Penny from Heaven. *

...

Larson, Kirby. Hattie Big Sky. Read it, loved it, made it a best book, need to finish draft.*

...


All Ages

...

Wiesner, David. Flotsam. Read it, enjoyed it especially since the setting is local (Long Beach Island, NJ.) Another read it at work book.
