I still have my copies of A.A. Milne's poetry ... and I still remember bits and pieces of them. "Of all the knights in Appledore ..."
I-I'm just taking things without paying for th... In what twisted dictionary is that stealing?

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

I don't have a personal rec, but I think my little cousins love the Princess in Black?

Princess in Black is so fun. I also love the Yasmin series by Saadia Faruqi and the Dory Fantasmagory books by Abby Hanlon. Also, if animal stories are her thing, she might like the Catwings books by Ursula K. Le Guin.

Amelia Bedelia remains a tried and true standby.
The Princess in Black series is pretty much the most popular with girls right now, but I like Henry and Mudge and Cam Jansen, as well as the other ones.
There are some early reader quasi graphic novels that are new called Unicorn and Yeti and I LOVE THEM.
Also, Little Robot, Peter & Ernesto (sloths) and Baby Mouse. The young graphic novels are particularly awesome because with the visual support, even non-readers can follow the action and kids tend to go through them OVER and OVER again, even if they're not *quite* reading on their own yet.

Hugo winners are out!
Congratulations to A Memory Called Empire, both for winning and for being the only novel on the list I've read all through(I started two others but didn't finish, and haven't had a chance to read Gideon the Ninth yet).
And sympathies to our own FW, who placed but didn't win in two categories. Just wait til next year, as Charlie Brown says.
