Book blog highlighting children's books. A tool to help parents and others select books for children.
About Me
- Rosemary Marotta
- I have worked in books for most of my life, having started in the local library as a page when I was in High School. I worked for Barnes & Noble for many years first as a children's bookseller and then as a children's book buyer in their corporate office. I also worked for Scholastic books in their Book Club division. My favorite thing to do is to sit outside and read a book.
