Book-A-Day Almanac

Review Blog.  Creator Anita Silvey describes the Children's Book-A-Day Almanac as a "daily love letter to a book or author."  Every day, Silvey explores a classic book or a book on its way to being a classic.  Each review provides an in-depth summary and analysis of the book, addressing content and theme, as well as sample images from inside the book.  In addition to posting daily, she lets readers know what's coming up for the blog.  The website is beautifully designed and easy to navigate.  Readers can search and browse past entries by age group, subject, author/illustrator, book type, or date of entry.  Silvey's use of subject tags is simple and easy to navigate.  Readers can clearly see Silvey's passion for the books she writes about, and can gain a great overview and insight from her posts.  Book-A-Day just celebrated it's one year birthday, let's hope it survives to celebrate many more!  Highly recommended, *****
