Blogs I Read: Orange Marmalade
I haven’t done a “Blogs I Read” post in a really long time. Time to change that!
I’ve been telling my friend Jill that I want to link to her blog for ages now! I’m just waaaay behind on all my blogging goals, so here it is at long last.
If you like children’s literature (or your kids do), you should check out Orange Marmalade.
(Jill is the third from the left. Aren’t they a great-looking crew, by the way?)
Why you should check out Orange Marmalade:
- Jill’s really smart about lots of things, including children’s literature.
- Jill has had a faithful career as a home school mom to those four kids, and they did lots of reading together.
- She showcases a wide variety of books for kids, most of which I would’ve never heard of without her!
- She offers suggestions for poetry, nonfiction, holidays, etc.
- She writes thoughtful posts about plot and why she likes the book.
- She usually includes what age she’d recommend the book for.
So hop on over and check out her literature selections for kids. I think you’ll be really happy you did.
I’m an Orange Marmalade fan, too!
Thank you for introducing me! I am a homeschooling mom of 4 kids (but we’re just starting out–ages are 6, 5, 3 and 1). This looks like so much fun…but I have to go to bed now so I’ll come back and check it out again tomorrow! :-)
“Orange Marmalade” is delicious!
I love Orange Marmalade…Have found many great books through her.
I like the way she introduces them in “groupings” or themes.
Her “index” page is one of the best book lists I’ve ever seen anywhere :)
Thanks for introducing me to this great resource! My daughter is a voracious reader and I’m always on the hunt for good books that are appropriate for her age. This list will keep us in good books for quite some time!
Thanks so much for sharing this blog! I LOVE books and I LOVE finding new gems I’ve never heard of before. I just clicked over to check it out and I’m gonna have to subscribe : )
I was looking for other children’s lit blogs and just found Orange Marmalade. I’m really enjoying reading the posts! Check out my blog for more children’s literature ideas: talesofalibrarianmom.blogspot.com
