Fun with Field Guides + Books for Natural-History Enthusiasts from Chicken Sphagetti has me wishing I could strike the lottery (although I never buy the tickets) before Christmas.
She lists a bunch of great blogs and book reviewers and their recommendations for field guides/ science books for kids and teens. Pop over and prepare to spend at least an hour clicking around!
The Best of the Best: Kids' Books '08 also from Chicken Sphagetti...uh, uhh you're not going to get away from the computer for a while for this one so go put the kids to sleep first or send to Grandma's...for a week (laugh).
The Cybilis 2008 nomination list, recommended by Becky of FarmSchool. There's a whole list of 'em here from Fantasy and Sci-fi to Young Adult novels.
Okay I'm gonna check out the links in more detail myself so I'll wish you happy browsing now :)
