Looking for Loons ~ a best book

| kirsti

The Canadian Children’s Book Centre has included Looking for Loons in their Best Books of 2008 list. Yay! 🙂

(mainly) Non-Fiction Fiona has written a whole *hexapod of reviews over on her blog of the books she picked up at the CWILL BC Spring Book Hatching this past weekend. And Looking for Loons was one of them. There are 4 more fantastic books from other talented BC authors and illustrators to read about in that post as well so I do recommend clicking over there for a visit. Actually, give the whole blog a good looking over – Fiona writes reviews of lots of other books as well posts about her writing life as a published author.

*actually there are five, not six, and none of the books are legged.

Pink Me ~ Looking for Loons Review

| kirsti

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?
