Introducing... the first American Children's Laureate!

Did you know that the United States now has a Children's Laureate? The Library of Congress selected Jon Scieszka (pronounced SHESS-ka) as the first ambassador for young people's literature. Check out his new site:

Also not to be missed, his Guys Read site: http://www.guysread.com/, full of books that appeal to guys of all ages (as well as many girls)!

The UK has had Children's Laureates for a few years now. Get some more great reading ideas from their website:
