Book Review Part 1

I selected "My Friend Rabbit" by Eric Rohmann. 
"My Friend Rabbit" was the 2003 Caldecott Medal Winner.

American Library Association Booklist http://www.ala.org/ala/aboutala/offices/publishing/booklist_publications/booklist_online/booklistonlinecom/booklistonline.cfm
I was able to find my selected book along with a brief summary of the story.  The listing also provides a review on the illustrations which garnered Eric Rohmann the Caldecott Medal in 2003.  Overall, the site was fairly easy to navigate using the search tool to locate a specific title or author.
Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books
http://bccb.lis.illinois.edu/
My Friend Rabbit as not listed on this site that I could find.  A paid subscription was required , but there was a free download available for a list of books recommended for gift giving.  The site was a little confusing to navigate when looking for a specific book, but did have links to Blue Ribbon Award archives.
School Library Journal

There was a search bar that made it simple to find a specific book or author, but unfortunately My Friend Rabbit was not one that was included.  I was able to find a summary of the multimedia series version of My Friend Rabbit that was televised on PBS. 
Horn Book
http://www.hbook.com/
The Horn Book was easy to navigate and had several options of publications to search.  If my book selection were the winner of the current years medal awards a review would have been accessible.  There were reviews listed for the ALA Awards 2011, but not available for previous year winners.

I loved this website!  My selected book was not included, because the content would apply more to the social and emotional aspect of child development.  This site could be used to find books that relate to specific curriculum connections for multiple grade levels or to direct where specific books connect with the curriculum.  The site was easy to navigate and is definitely being added to my favorite list! 
Children’s Literature Web Guide

This site was helpful.  There were several great links with information that can be used  with literature experiences like the Reader’s Theater.  Unfortunately a large number of the links received error messages of broken links or incorrect address.  While the site contains useful information, I am leery of revisiting the site because of the outdated links.
 Barnes and Noble & Amazon
Barnes and Noble had a list of books titled “My Friend Rabbit” but my specific book was listed number four on the list.  Once I selected the book I was looking for, it provided me with the price of the book, other books that have been purchased by customers that considered my book, and reviews.  The reviews included were from customers that provided a star rating as well as a written opinion on the side, and from formal literary reviews at the bottom.  Amazon had a similar set up with the exception of customer reviews could be read bit it required clicking on an extra tab. The navigation and search feature were easily implemented on both sites.
