Welcome Children's Book Lovers!

Posted by Michael Jung Jan 26, 2009

Welcome! My name is Michael Jung and I am the new Feature Writer for Suite 101's Children's Books section. Whether you're a teacher looking for ideas you can use in a lesson plan, a frantic student looking for information for your book report, or just a lover of children's books checking to see if your favorite stories got some well-deserved Suite 101 exposure, I hope you find your visit entertaining and useful!

The purpose of this blog is to provide a fun, informal place for me to jot down my thoughts on children's literature (and boy, do I have a lot of them!) and to provide YOU -- the reader -- with a place to share your thoughts on my blog entries, recommend favorite children's books, and suggest future articles!

Want to see a favorite (and possibly obscure) children's author profiled on Suite 101? Would you like to know what inspired a certain children's book? Is there a favorite story from your childhood with a forgotten title you'd like to see tracked down and reviewed? This is the place to make those requests and ask those questions -- not just to me but also to our many talented writers who contribute to the Children's Books section!

In the coming days, I'll be posting more blogs asking these questions and giving you the chance to post your questions/requests in the appropriate entries. Until then, feel free to respond to this blog entry and tell me a little something about yourself!

By the way, if any children's authors would like to have their published picture, middle-grade, or young adult novel reviewed here, please feel free to contact me at:childrensbooks@suite101.com!

Thanks everyone! I hope to hear from all of you soon!

Michael
