What with me writing children’s books, I also read a lot of children’s books. What’s more, I read a lot about children’s books – mostly on the wondrous web of this net we call ‘inter’.
There are lots of websites about children’s books – far too many to mention – but one of my favourites is a relative newcomer to the field – Mr Ripley’s Enchanted Books.
For me, what elevates the site above a lot of others is the range and variety of articles it runs. Yes, there are reviews and previews, but there are also interviews and some more journalistic features, including this one about digital artist, Melvyn Grant. I love the fact that the site is celebrating a cover artist – often the most overlooked of contributors to a book’s success, but arguably the most important – and the article itself makes for an interesting read.
The site was only launched in November 2008, but it’s filling up fast. So, if you’re looking for information about children’s books, you could do a lot worse than check the site out.
