Just One More Book!

When I heard about this web site I just had to share it with you. What better way to  find out about children's books than listen to reviews before you buy them. You get to know the authors, find out what young readers think of the books,  and here a parents opinion.  Here is a little bit about their site!

JOMB_logo_feed_144 "Just One More Book!" is a thrice-weekly podcast which promotes and celebrates literacy and great children's books.  Each weekday morning, we take a few minutes out of our morning coffee ritual to discuss one of our many favorite children's books. We also feature weekly interviews with authors, illustrators and experts and enthusiasts in the areas of children's literature and literacy as well as listener-submitted book reviews.
Through this podcast and web site, we are building a lively, interactive community linking children's book authors, illustrators, readers (parents, children, librarians, teachers and literacy activists) and publishers.
Busy parents and educators can now discover great read-aloud children's books while they are busy doing the many tasks that would otherwise rob them of the opportunity to research great children's books in more traditional ways.

Episodes range in length from 5 to 25 minutes and can be played directly from our web page or downloaded to a portable mp3 player, such as an iPod, for listening on the go.
This podcast is powered by passion. We have no advertisers or sponsors. Our goals are to link children with great books and to help create happy memories for children and the adults that read to them…and to have fun!
The
Just One More Book! Podcast has been recommended by the American Library Association as one of its 2007 American Library Association (ALA) - Great web sites for kids and has been featured in Canadian Living Magazine, Parenting Magazine and such prestigious literary publications as School Library Journal, Books for Keeps and Publishers Weekly. We are also regular contributors to Childs Life, The Edge of the Forest and Parent Source online newsletters. Watch for us this autumn in Canadian Children's Book News and the October 2008 edition of Family Fun Magazine.
