I know, I know. I already went on and on and on in my last post about our book being reviewed in the School Library Journal. But I can’t help myself! It’s just too cool! The review is available online now, too, at the School Library Journal website.
The icing on the cake? In the online version the listings are alphabetical according to the author’s last name. So there it is, Beth Finke’s book, directly above Jean Craighead George’s new picture book about wolves, “The Wolves Are Back.”
Jean Craighead George is a Newbery winner for “Julie of the Wolves” and a Newbery honor winner for “My Side of the Mountain.” She’s one of the most well known children’s authors of our time.
Last week Hanni was listed with E.B. White’s famous spider. This week, with Jean Craighead George’s famous Wolves. What next? I can’t wait to find out!
Congratulations! It sounds like you’ve made it to Oz!
Maybe next week the book will show up on a list with Frank Baum’s “Wizard of Oz.” Now *that* would be something!
Beth, you and Hanni are rock stars. My Side of the Mountain, as well as Jean Craighead George’s other books, were HUGE for me as a kid. And now you’ll be HUGE for a whole new generation. Rock on!
Aw, shucks.
Wow! This is very cool. No telling where it will lead. Congratulations…….(ho-hum)again.
Thanks! It’s so much fun — yesterday Hanni and I visited an elementary school in Barrington, IL, and guess what? The school librarian had seen the review…
