This is my pick to win the 2015 Newbery Medal. It's a gorgeous and important contribution to American children's literature.

This series offers a fun take on classic nursery rhymes. The dog doctor and chicken nurse at the hospital must care for a spider (named Itsy Bitsy, of course) after it suffers a waterspout-related injury. Besides just plain fun, this might be a good series for kids who are interested in what happens at hospitals. There was more detail than I expected about the spider getting stitches. This is definitely on the advanced side of the Easy Reader collection. Recommended for children who are reading longer sentences and words.This series offers a fun take on classic nursery rhymes.

What a gorgeous book of poetry! Some poems could work for kids as young as 8 or 9; the collection as a whole is sophisticated enough for middle or high school. Joyce Sidman seals her stellar reputation as an Important Poet with this book (if it hadn't already been sealed).What a gorgeous book of poetry!

This reminds me a little of Calvin and Hobbes, Dragonbreath, and Sabrina the Teenage Witch rolled into one. A fun new graphic novel series for 2nd and 3rd graders.

An illustrated old-fashioned tale that would make a great classroom or bedtime read-aloud for kids as young as six and an intriguing quick read for kids as old as eleven. It's about a man who guides travelers through the desert. I won't spoil the plot, but I will tell you it took me less than an hour to read and it was time well spent.An illustrated old-fashioned tale that would make a great classroom or bedtime read-aloud for kids as young as six and an intriguing quick read for kids as old as eleven.

This is an emotionally resonant book about a boy who loses his father. The reader doesn't know how the boy loses his father. Maybe he died, maybe he went to prison (as the author's father did), or maybe he was forced to leave his family for some other reason. He says, "I'm sorry I will not be coming home," so we can assume it's not a deployment or temporary disruption. But he does write his son a letter encouraging him to be good and be himself, despite the absence of the father. A truly bittersweet story about the love of a parent who's not there.This is an emotionally resonant book about a boy who loses his father. The reader doesn't know how the boy loses his father.

After spending one crazy summer with her long lost mother in Oakland, Delphine and her sisters are back in Brooklyn. The year is 1968 and, along with the rest of the country, Vonetta, Fern, and Delphine have fallen in love with the Jackson 5. This is great slice of life historical fiction that explores what it means to be eleven years old.After spending one crazy summer with her long lost mother in Oakland, Delphine and her sisters are back in Brooklyn.

There are lots of volcano books for kids, but I'd venture to say this is the best (especially for ages 9 to 12). The true danger of volcanoes has never been so palpable on the page. Wonderfully written, with awesome photography, and packed with information, I imagine this will inspire some future vulcanologists.There are lots of volcano books for kids, but I'd venture to say this is the best (especially for ages 9 to 12).
