If you haven’t seen this post, take a look. Good books in these genres were the hardest to find when my son was young. These look so wonderful, I’m putting some on my to-read list just for myself.

Thanks for this link, Becky. I’ve toyed with trying my hand at this genre–these make me realize the competition is pretty tough!

Tough, Carol, but at the same time…at least when my son was young, it was hard to find many that were actually engaging. I get the sense that someone who can do this well would be in demand. Just my opinion! 🙂
