Looking for lists?

This is the time of year when librarians and teachers are being asked over and over again about gifts for children. It's hard to keep the titles of all those good books on the tip of your tongue, so we turn to lists of best books thoughtfully published by many journals and some newspapers. You probably already know about the School Library Journal list and the N.Y. Times Book Review list, both of which appeared recently. Here's another that's not quite so familiar--the Boing Boing list. You may have missed some of these titles, but so many of them sound enticing that you'll end up ordering some for your library as well as for your nieces, nephews and friends, maybe even yourself. It's always nice to have another source for good holiday ideas.
