While I've been tending to a newborn these past weeks, the blogosphere has exploded with books for beginning readers. Without further ado, let's get to the plethora of links!

Easy Readers


A few blogs posted about beloved favorites this month:
Others got into the spirit of Fall, with reviews of Aaron Loves Apples and Pumpkins (Provo Library Children's Book Reviews) and Halloween (Anastasia Suen).

Newer titles receiving attention included Let's Have a Parade and Let's Go Fishing from the Lana's World series, reviewed by Becky's Book Reviews, Ballet Cat: The Totally Secret Secret, reviewed by Great Kid Books and Ballet Cat: Dance Dance Underpants, reviewed by Literary Hoots, as well as The Berenstain Bears are Superbears and Celebrating Georgia, both featured by Provo Library Children's Book Reviews, Written and Drawn by Henrietta, reviewed by Books 4 Your Kids and A Kids Book a Day, and Pig and Pug, reviewed by Literary Hoots. Waking Brain Cells and Shelf-Employed also both reviewed In, Over, and On the Farm by Ethan Long, while Juliana Lee, Writer and Flying Off My Bookshelf featured Poppy the Pirate Dog and the Missing Treasure


Chapter Books


There were a couple of throwback chapter book reviews this month: How Oliver Olson Changed the World at Family Bookshelf and Zeke Meeks vs. the Horrifying TV Turn-Off Week at One Great Book.

Books suitable for both Halloween and Thanksgiving were also making the rounds. Mundie Kids reviewed Backyard Witch: Sadie's Story, Literary Hoots reviewed The Not So Itty Bitty Spiders, and  Ms. Yingling Reads reviewed Charlie Bumpers vs. the Perfect Little Turkey.
