I would like to find a blog which talks about childrens books, old favourites and new ones.

Does anyone know of a good one?

One of the posters on here, BellaStar used to do a good one.

Link to her blog here

I quite like Vintage Kids' Books My Kid Loves. It's American, but British books are often featured. As should be apparent from the title this fits your "old favourites" requirements best.

I like Vintage Books My Kid Loves as well.

I come across some great children's book blogs when googling for books, but then I forget to bookmark them. I've just been browsing to see if I can find them, and came across Educating Alice, which looks good. Lovely post (October 22) on the 50th anniversary of The Wolves of Willoughby Chase.

There are so many wonderful blogs. Great recommendations above. Lovereading4kids.co.uk isn't a blog but does have book news and free excerpts/previews. The Guardian books site is great with reviews by kids. What age are your kids? Most publishing houses have teen books site including www.spinebreakers.co.uk and www.totallyrandombooks.co.uk
Books for boys? guysread.com/books/
Books for teen/tween girls girlsheartbooks.com
Books for younger children www.playingbythebook.net and www.librarymice.com

I tend to blog about random thoughts related to childrens/YA literature but have also recently blogged on New and shiny vs Back to the Classics

Hi, I have a blog where I recommend picture books old and new.

Hopefully you will find books that you like on storysnug.com Smile
