We are seeing more "best of" lists as the year comes to an end, and I love it! It gives me a chance to cheer for my favorites and check out books I missed throughout the year. Kirkus published their
Best Children's Books of 2012. Check it out--cheer, wonder, and read.
Interesting list they put out! There are some unusual omissions and inclusions (I gave up on The Revolution of Evelyn Serrano fairly early in the novel, so it's a surprise to see it there, especially since it's a celebrity book), but it's a great snapshot of this year's books.
ReplyDeleteYes, interesting. I was surprised not see BOMB on the list, but at least they included more nonfiction than Publisher's Weekly. I really want to see a copy of MAN FROM THE LAND OF FANDANGO.
