Neither of us have read any on this year's shortlist yet so it's great to hear that it's been well received by you and yours. And of course, we're part of the blog tour for the shortlist this year so it'll be great to see what each of the authors have to say!Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05628601066057750860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7735223299018836451.post-38373896653786336512013-10-22T21:54:15.052+01:002013-10-22T21:54:15.052+01:00What do you think of the Red House shortlist?

The Claude books are a lot of fun and Superworm is my (daughter's) favourite Julia Donaldson in the past couple of years. A really strong bunch!Jon Biddlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10753930052538238409noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7735223299018836451.post-62834771047668917142013-10-10T09:01:38.875+01:002013-10-10T09:01:38.875+01:00Speaking of award love, did I see that you were ju...Speaking of award love, did I see that you were judging middle grade for the Cybils? :)Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05628601066057750860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7735223299018836451.post-59839618462635112922013-10-09T15:22:51.735+01:002013-10-09T15:22:51.735+01:00I love award, too.

I like that kids can be involved because sometimes adults read a kidlit book and think it is wonderful, only to later learn it went over like a lead balloon with its intended readers. You are lucky you still have a young reader at home to sort of get an idea about something. My Kiddo thinks she is all grown up and only wants to read adult books now. *Sigh* Oh for the days of deep discussions about Voldemort.Alexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15988251415347075888noreply@blogger.com
