Books We Read – March

We have lots of picture books this month! We are currently beta testing the new site, so some of our most recent reviews – like How the Weather Works by Christiane Dorior and Nuts by Kacy Cook – will be available shortly.

Received: 20  ….. New Reads: 27 ….. New Reviews: 16



Please use these category headings to “jump” to your favorite children’s and young adult book categories. We hope this makes the monthly list (and our annual list pages) more enjoyable for you … not to mention a little more manageable to browse.

If you’ve read any of these books, we’d love to link to them so readers can learn more about them! Just click “Our Book Talk” to add your link to our website review (via InLinkz) or just paste the URL into a comment and I’ll do the rest.
