Welcome to Kids Lit Express!

This blog is for people like me who loved reading books as a kid and who still enjoy reading childrens books, not because I have kids or work with kids -- simply because I really enjoy childrens books. There are a lot of wonderfully written and illustrated books for children, and it is their simplicity that always amazes me. You have to be a good writer to write for children, because you don't get a lot of words to convey your meaning.

So, do you enjoy reading children's books? What are your favorite books or authors? Do you like picture books? Why do you enjoy reading books for children? Is there any one book that got you started?

You can share your favorites using the form at the bottom of this page.

You can also click on the title of a book to purchase it from Amazon.com

Author Emily Gravett

I just read several of Emily Gravett's picture books: Wolves, Orange Pear Apple Bear, Little Mouse's Big Book of Fears, and Meerkat Mail. Emily is an author/illustrator from Brighton, England. Her books are charming and very clever. My favorite is Wolves, in which a young rabbit borrows a book about wolves from the local library. While she is immersed in her book she doesn't realize that she is being followed by one herself.
