An Abundance of Books'
2012 Picture Book Reading Challenge
A few of us participated in my picture book reading challenge during 2011. I had a fun time with it and wanted to give it another try. I love picture books, and was collecting them long before I became an elementary librarian. Sometimes it's the story, sometimes the illustrations, and a lot of the time it's the fun of reading them out loud to kids that makes picture books so enjoyable. I thought it would be fun to create a reading challenge for this shorter, though just as entertaining, genre. Picture books are a great way to share stories and the experience of reading with children. If you're reading the books with kids, I encourage you to add their opinion of the books as well! I love the way the family at Bookie Woogie reviews books. That being said, not all picture books are for children. Picture books for older audiences are also welcome.
I will be using the thumbnail inLinkz form for participants to link their monthly reviews to. This way we can see the books you've reviewed!

February 11, 2012 5:40 PMHi! I am wondering if the books I've blogged about recently prior to joining the challenge count?:)
March 5, 2012 6:57 AMCan you tell me if this challenge is still valid? I wanted to know more details about the blogging/post aspect...each week? At the end of the month? Just list the books, or talk about them in detail?
