I recently attended a conference that was all about bloggers who focus on Kid Lit. I was very happy to meet so many people who are passionate about, and who write about, children’s literature. I plan to highlight lots of new sites I learned about in the weeks ahead, to give my readers more ideas on where they can look for books to read. First is Just One More Book

Just One More Book.com features book reviews and interviews with authors and illustrators offered as podcasts. You can listen to the sessions on your computer or you can download them to an ipod. And Mark and Andrea, who review books and interview authors, have been at this a while. There are more than 300 podcasts in their archives. The Just One More Book site is very easy to use. Podcasts with authors are listed alphabetically by first name. Book reviews are listed alphabetically and by age level recommendation as well, so you can scroll through the possibilities for your child’s age.

You can also subscribe to receive all of the new updates, updates for reviews only, or updates of interviews only. It’s a very easy site to navigate. I just listened to an archive copy of the interview with Chris Raschka and Jack Prelutsky about ” the role of musical styles and rhythms in their writing, and inspiring children to write.” Look for your favorite author or for new books to read at Just One More Book.com.
