Remember that brief period where I was asked to abstain from reviewing any children's books on this blog between the months of November and January until the Newbery Award had been safely determined? Well, I read a lot of great books during that time. Books I just couldn't review, no matter how much I wanted to. Books like Tomorrow the River which, I am happy to report, has won the Minnesota Book Award in the Children's category. Well done, Dianne E. Gray. So nice to see a good book get its due award-wise.

Thanks (again and again) to bookshelves of doom for the link.

No. Really. There isn't.

Much thanks to the BB-Blog for the link.
