So I'm breezing through the Book Bloggers Top 10 of 2008 in various categories over at Literary Escapism and the top children's book and one of the top vote-getters overall is The Girl in the Castle Inside the Museum
.
Okay, so the title alone would be enough to grab my interest, but it's also by Kate Bernheimer (with illustrations by Nicoletta Ceccoli). Why did I not know about this book? Which, I might add, got a starred review from PW.
What else have I missed this year? Please, let me know!
Thanks for the tip: I’ve missed this too. On the to-do list: get book for my dreamy, museum-loving, artist-aspiring 6 y.o. for Christmas. I think I’ve found it!
I reviewed this one earlier this year and loved it – it’s gorgeous and a very cool/dreamy story. The 7 Imps did a post on it also.
See, how did I miss this? SERIOUSLY?
My daughter received this from her grandmother. A very beautiful tale, with superb illustrations.
