Beaches and books just seem to go together, but even if your summer plans do not include any beaches, hopefully it will still include some warm, lazy days curled up with a good book. To get you in the mood, I’ve corralled the following booklists for your family’s summer reading pleasure.
America Library Association: Notable Children’s Books
Each year the Association for Library Service to Children (ALSC) compiles a list of “notable” children’s books. “As applied to children’s books, notable should be thought to include books of especially commendable quality, books that exhibit venturesome creativity, and books of fiction, information, poetry and pictures for all age levels (birth through age 14) that reflect and encourage children’s interests in exemplary ways.”
Goodreads
Recently purchased by Amazon.com, Goodreads is a social network for readers over thirteen. As such, you’ll get more out of it if you create a free account, rate some books, and add some friends. My favorite Goodreads feature is the book recommendations organized by genre. Follow me and see what’s on my book shelf by clicking here.
The Horn Book: Summer Reading
“Need suggestions for beach reading or books to bring to camp? We’ve hand-picked some favorite new titles, all published within the last year, that are ideal for the season.” From Picture Books to Young Adult Fiction, Horn recommends newly published books that may not be on your radar yet, with an emphasis on fun, summer reading. In addition to this list, they also produce a book review podcast, and have dozens of other reading lists for children and young adults. You’ll find these links at the bottom of the page.
