Welcome to the 8th Kid Lit Blog Hop. We had a very high number of links in the last Hop – 85!
I am also pleased to announce that after co-hosting last week’s Hop, I am now a permanent hostess!
To remind everyone, we are back to our normal schedule in February (the 1st and 3rd Wednesday of each month). Enjoy the Hop!

Suggestions For How to Participate:
1. Although not mandatory, we ask that you kindly follow your hostesses and co-hostesses. You can follow us any way you choose (Email, GFC, Twitter, Facebook, G+, Pinterest, etc.). If you leave us a comment on our websites, we will be sure to follow you back.
Hostesses:
Renee @ Mother Daughter Book Reviews
Katie @ Youth Literature Reviews
Our Co-Hostess for This Week:
Julie Grasso, Author of Escape From the Forbidden Planet
WordPress users can click the follow button at the top of the screen, and everyone else can use the “follow by email” button in the sidebar. If you leave me a comment saying you subscribed, I will reciprocate and subscribe to your site as well if I’m not already a subscriber. This is what it’s all about. I’m interested in connecting with other Kid Lit enthusiasts!
2. Link up any Kid Lit related post. This can be a link to a children’s book review, a discussion about children’s literature/literacy, or a post on a recently-read children’s book or one that you love from your childhood.
* Don’t link directly to your blog, it must be a specific post*
* For Authors, we prefer you to link to your blog if you have one *
* Make sure you include an image relevant to the POST (e.g., book cover), not your blog button or photo of yourself.*
* Feel free to link more than one post.*
3. Check out some other books. Don’t be a stranger, go see what books other families are checking out, and leave them some love in the form of a comment. We are trying to build a community of bloggers, readers, parents, authors, and others who are as passionate about children’s literature as we are so please CONNECT and follow any or all of the blogs that interest you!
4. If you like, grab the button above and put it somewhere on your blog, preferably the post you’re linking up. If you’d prefer, you can just add a text link back to this Hop so that others can find it and check out all these great book links!
5. It would really help us get the word out about the Kid Lit Blog Hop if you would be so kind as to tweet, share, and spread the word about the Hop!

Hi Katie, Thanks for visiting my blog. I’m now following you by rss. I enjoyed your winter themed books, too. It’s summer here, and we’ve had a bit of a heat wave, so the thought of snow and ice makes me feel cooler.
Thanks for stopping by and for following!
Hi Katie, Thanks so much for hosting the Kid Lit Blog Hop! I’m so thrilled to have you on board as a permanent hostess. I’m a little slow hopping around this week because I’m down with the flu. Blech… Hope you have a wonderful week.
