Don’t forget that I blog for Colorado Parent Magazine at Bookmarkable and often write book recommendations for Babble.com.

Last week I guest posted for Makes and Takes on “Addictive Summer Reads.”

(If you don’t see a favorite book here, it’s probably because it’s on those lists. Or I didn’t like it.)

Picture book favorites will be posted next week.

** P.S. Because I live in Colorado, I don’t have an Amazon affiliate account. The links are for your convenience.

I’d love to hear what your children’s favorite books are this spring and summer! Has anyone read any of these books yet?
