What’s your favorite picture book/children’s chapter book/teen book of 2010?
Revolution by Jennifer Donnelly. Not only well written, but well researched and fast paced. And very cool without trying too hard. I just loved it!
My favorites were Black Hole Sun by David Macinnis Gill and It’s a Book by Lane Smith.
Out of My Mind by Sharon Draper
One Crazy Summer by Rita Williams-Garcia
Ship Breaker
Revolution
I liked Jazz Fly 2 by Matthew Gollub. It’s a bilingual book that centers around jazzy insects and it even came with a great audio CD.
definitely it’s a book by lane smith and a pig parade is a terrible idea by michael ian black.
My absolute favorite this year was Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins.
I love this book but I had something to do with it.
“UP IN SMOKE” by Susan Kallander
Susan is the writer and illustrator.
Mockingbird by Kathryn Erskine
Dark Sons by Nikki Grimes (not published in 2010, but one of my favorites read this year)
My favorite picture book to read to children is “The Famous Nini” by Mary Nethery. I liked it so much that I bought a copy for the nearby elementary school library and the children love it. It is set in beautiful Venice and the colorful illustrations bring the story to life.
