Don't feel guilty for loving children's books!

A great essay in last Sunday's New York Times Book Review explains the appeal of children's books to people of all ages - The Kids' Books Are All Right, by Pamela Paul. My fellow adults who have been waiting eagerly for Mockingjay, the third installment in the Hunger Games trilogy (you know who you are), rejoice! We don't have to hide our love of children's literature! We can shout out our love of, for instance, The Penderwicks by Jeanne Birdsall or Bad Kitty Takes A Bath by Nick Bruel. This stuff is good! Stop by the front desk or check in with Miss Meredith the Children's Librarian for a recommendation. You don't know what you're missing if you aren't reading "kid lit."
