Where did the name b00km4rk3d come from?

For the graduate courses that this blog corresponds to, my professor wanted us to use several social media platforms to be engaged with children's books and the authors. Along with this blog, we had to create a Twitter and Instagram account to showcase our thoughts on literacy and have the ability to directly reach out to the authors. I am a perfectionist in creativity, so it took me forever to come up with a name for a blog and account that reflected literacy. My brother imaginatively came up with this username and I loved the integration and inclusion of both letters and numbers.

What you will see in this blog?

This website is dedicated to providing critical analysis and interpretation of several diverse children's books, writer's notebook, poetry, and more. There are a total of twenty one books that are acknowledged throughout this blog. Within each post, I have included details about the book including: the author, illustrator, copyright date, medium details and analysis. Along with this, the "Additional Resources" is separated between resources for children's literature and language arts. The children's literature page includes several resources related to reading children's literature within classrooms, author and illustrator information, diversity within children's literature and peer blog posts. The language arts resources page includes credible sources regarding how to appropriately an effectively teach language arts within elementary grade levels. Specifically it addresses the importance of the writer's notebook, poetry, and peer blog posts.

This will direct you to the menu of all the children's books that are included on this website in relation to analyzing children's literature.
