Becky considers history for children at Farm School. Inspired by recent reviews of E.H. Gombrich's 
	A Little History of the World, Becky reviews the Little History and then recommends other 
	narrative world history books.  This beautiful post is dated March 11. 
	
	Take a look at A Fuse #8 Production, a rockin' new blog featuring news, reviews, and, yes, 
	even a series devoted to "Hot Men of Children's Literature."

	Another smokin' blog out there is the fabulously titled Bookshelves of Doom.  With great style and humor, 
	Leila, the blog's author and "uber-librarian," discusses books, news, censorship, and libraries.

	I love reading Students for Literacy Ottawa, a blog (and organization) run by a group of students at 
	Frontier College.  Their mission statement reads, "We believe that literacy is a right and we work towards 
	achieving literacy for all. We have a student club at Carleton and uOttawa as well as community volunteers. 
	We run free reading circles and after-school programs for children."  Who can argue with that?  Their blog 
	features news, reviews, information for participants, and much more.  A daily read.
	
	Jen Robinson takes a look at Harry Potter and its effects on child literacy at Jen Robinson's Book Page.  
	Seems test scores and number of pages read daily have increased in the past few years and Harry may 
	have had a hand in the process. 

	Sheila at Wands and Worlds has reviewed many books published by small publishing houses in honor 
	of Celebrate Small Press Month.  It has been a great series with many interesting (and overlooked) titles.

	Jill discusses endings, hypertext and Dumbledore at Lady Rona.

	Roger Sutton, editor of The Horn Book, enters the fray (of discussion on two recent articles) at Read Roger.  
	Take a look at the comment thread; it's quite spectacular.

	Melissa Wiley—writer, homeschooler, and blogger extraordinaire—takes on fairies (no, not actually!) 
	at one of my favorite reads, Here in the Bonny Glen.

	Finally, I'd like to highlight some recent reviews on the blogs. 

	* Catherine H. Ross always has excellent reviews of picture books at Book Carousel. This month she's reviewed 
	Food for Thought, by Saxton Freymann, Secret Seahorse, by Stella Blackstone, illustrations by Clare Beaton,
	and Nacho and Lolita, by Pam Muñoz Ryan, illustrations by Claudia Rueda.
	* Becky Wojahn has posted some great "retro reviews" at Bec's Book Blog, including considerations of Running 
	Out of Time, by Margaret Peterson Haddix, and The Mysteries of Harris Burdick, by Chris Van Allsburg. 
	* Wendy Betts recommends Had Gadya ("a deliberately curious combination of whimsy and darkness"), 
	illustrated by Seymour Chwast, at Blog from the Windowsill. 
	* ProfessorNana reviews many new YA titles this month at The Goddess of YA Literature, including David 
	Almond's forthcoming (in the States) Clay and An Na's Wait for Me. 
	* PJ Librarian has made quite a few good recommendations at The Magic of Books in March, including 
	Adam Relf's Fox Makes Friends for the very young.
