Hello all: I have been reading this discussion of SLJ over the last few nights with = some partial amusement and partial seriousness. I have finally decided = to post. I read SLJ periodically, but got into trouble several years = ago over one of their book reviews. It was a short review, with very = little detail, but the book received an excellent recommendation. I = decided to purchase. I don't remember the book title now, but it was = completely inappropriate for the recommended age, Gr. 4-7. Needless to = say it described and named in detail certain anatomy parts of the male = and female bodies. I had to take the book from the collection; I know = this speaks of censorship, but in this case, I would have been ordered = to if I had not done it. Since then I have never used SLJ's reviews, = and I have learned to read several and not just rely on one. I am an Associate Editor for Knowledge Quest and I would like to call = your attention to the latest issue which deals with reading (Reading = Matters, Jan/Feb 2002). The networth section deals with a multitude of = reading resources on the web. There is information on a variety of = sites where you can find information on children's literature, online = texts, author and publisher information, and reviews or review = newsgroups. There are so many places now where media specialists can = find additional review information. This column details some of these = and gives some important information on web sites where reading matters! = It really is a good read!
