My Secret Elephant

There’s a really nice review of Looking for Loons on Pink Me, where there are lots of “children’s books reviewed for grownups”.

I spent a chunk of time last night reading through the other reviews. Some of them are pretty funny. This website is definitely worth a stop if you’re looking for a book that will appeal to you just as much as to your audience. If you’re going to be reading it out loud night after night at bedtime, it might as well be something you enjoy too, right?

There is a lovely review of Looking for Loons on Menasha Kids, the kidslit blog of Menasha Public Library in Menasha WI. The blog covers reviews of picture books to graphic novels, to novels to movies – all for kids and teens. There are also interviews with authors as well as extensive lists of links to other great kidlit related blogs, children’s book publishers and resources for children’s book creators and readers.

There’s a really nice little write up about Looking for Loons on the Library Goddesses blog.

Library Goddesses blog is a fantastic resource with a whole pile of book write ups, reviews and recommendations. Do check it out!

There’s a really nice review of Looking for Loons in the Winter 2007 issue of Cottage Life.

Author Jennifer Lloyd and illustrator Kirsti Anne Wakelin, both Canadians, create a sensory feast, from the sunlight on a pillow to the bang of a cast-iron pan on the stove.

The magazine is full of all things cottage as well as the 2007 photo contest winners – images of enviable times spent with family and friends, surrounded by nature.

There’s a review of Looking for Loons in CM Magazine: Canadian Review of Materials.

Looking for Loons was reviewed in the Globe and Mail on October 27, 2007.
