Book Talk Tuesday

I have been searching the web for a great place to post book reviews for librarians and teachers to use in the classroom. Well, I am going to try hosting my own Book Talk Tuesday! I invite teachers, moms, dads and librarians to link to a recent book talk or book review that can be used by others.

My rules?
1. All content must be appropriate for children in grades kindergarten through eighth grade.
2. Websites that you link to must be child friendly since lots of kids visit this site and if they click on your link, I want it to be appropriate for them.
3. Positive reviews only, please... we only spread love here at The Lemme Library!
4. Books must be available in The US. (you are welcome to link to ARC reviews)
5. I reserve the right to remove any reviews that don't meet criteria 1-4.
In the link title field, be sure to include the title of the book you are reviewing and your site name. In the URL field, please link to this specific post that contains the book review (That way people don't have to scour your blog looking for it!)
I'd love it if you would leave a comment telling me about yourself! You are welcome to grab the Book Talk Tuesday graphic to use it on your blog.

  1. This week we're sharing our recommendation for the first two comics in the GUINEA PIG, PET SHOP PRIVATE EYE series by Colleen AF Venable. Since this recommendation was posted, the third comic has come out. We highly recommend that one, too. I imagine kids of all ages will enjoy this funny mystery series.

  2. My post is John Grandits' Technically, It's Not My Fault - a great read aloud and perennial favorite at both of the school's I've been in. It's a bit irreverent, so pre-read with your own audiences in mind, but my students from grades 4 through 8 loved the book.
