Magic Bookshelf Online visitors, meet our good friend Reading RoosterTM, host of the popular YouTube and TeacherTube children's book broadcast Reading Rooster RecommendsTM.
Reading RoosterTM, aka Helen Fellers, is the most zealous reading advocate we know, constantly searching for great children's titles to "crow about." As coordinator of the South Carolina Center for Children's Books and Literacy at the SC State Library, Helen heads up this unique program, which takes up a new juvenile reading topic about twice a month to give viewers fresh ideas and book recommendations for all kinds of topics, seasons, special events, or just plain fun.
And make sure to check out the October 7, 2008 installment, which features The New Magic Bookshelf!
We're very proud to offer our site visitors this great resource through special permission from the SC State Library. We'll keep all the fresh installments coming!
Helen's bio: Helen Fellers has an extensive background as a juvenile literacy advocate not only from her experience as a librarian but as a buyer for bookstores including Barnes and Noble. She thus has a terrific feel for both older and brand-new titles coming out. Hers is the perfect blend of expertise for parents and teachers who find themselves lost in the crush of juvenile book merchandising, wondering how to separate the wheat from the chaff.
