It has always been my mission to help my readers connect with newly published, excellent books for children.  The books I select are distinguished not only by their quality, but by their capacity to encourage children to love reading.  I am now going a step beyond identifying these books.  Now you will be able to acquire selected books directly from this blog by clicking links to Amazon.com.  I hope this will make The Children’s Book Compass an even better tool for finding excellent children’s literature.
