![]() ![]() For example, I have a hard time properly accepting and praising nonfiction and informational books for the youngest of readers. So much so, that I’ve had to begin to actively notice the kinds of books that I pour inadequate attention upon. This has happened to me personally more times than I can count. They’ll sit around eating chocolate, and then inevitably veer off and select the books that appeal to their particular (read: grown-up) sensibilities. I don’t need to spell out the problems with this kind of situation to you, because you know precisely what happens when a bunch of adults all come together to determine the “best” of anything. How is that fair? Tell me, can you think of any book committees that have an honorary child member? I’m not saying it’s impossible, I’m just saying it doesn’t happen all that often. Somehow, they’ve managed to work it so that they’re on all the review committees that determine the best books for kids. ![]()
