Hey there faithful readers.
Sorry for stepping away for a few days, but I had a good reason.
My very own pixie is here!
Born 7:29pm on 3/28.
8 lbs 1.6 oz.; 19.5 inches.
Scrumptious! Yum, yum, yum.
Howdy!
Welcome to pixie stix kids pix, the site for reviews and opinions about new and interesting books for children and young adults, by a professional in the children's book industry.
What rates?
When I read books they get rated on a 10 point scale. What I like is subjective, but basically I look for great content, excellent design, and fresh ideas. Generally, only books that receive a 7.0 or higher make it on to the site.

Yummy indeed! I’m daring enough to hope I might get to kiss and cuddle her firsthand … in our neighborhood bookstore, no less. Which means if you want to zonk on the couch in the back for a while, I’ll put on the sling-baby-pack thing and browse the stacks.
