Dear Readers: I hope that you have enjoyed the Children’s Literature Bookshelf during the past year. Buying books for your children, grandchildren, nephews and nieces can be one of the most pleasant Christmas activities of the season. This week I compiled a list of books that have been reviewed in the last weeks of 2015 and through mid-December of 2016. I hope that this list will give you some ideas for books that might make nice Christmas presents.
You may read all the reviews of the past year (and of several previous years as well!) at this link.
It has been an honor to have written these book talks for the Southern Nebraska Register. Thanks for the book recommendations and encouragement you have given me. I hope that you and your family have a joyful Christmas.
