How will a certain kid enjoy a book, or get wrapped up in a particular world, or think more about or beyond their own world?<br /><br />I also love what you've said before about the role of online reviewers bringing their personal reactions to books. I like the space that blogs give us to share that personal reaction - it's far beyond the rating system that Shannon talked about in her blog.<br /><br />Thanks for the thoughtful response to Shannon's blog. <br /><br />Mary Ann<br />Great Kid BooksMary Ann Scheuerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09592162867997740561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12461652.post-64361048992088780752009-08-23T18:26:38.433-04:002009-08-23T18:26:38.433-04:00Nice thoughts, Liz.
