Best Websites and Books

Here are some best websites:
I took a look at www.justonemorebook.com and listened to the podcast. Kathy Lowinger speaks about the book industry. An informative podcast for everyone interested in children's books. But there's much much more on this site. Check it out.
Margriet Ruurs' website is one of my ultimate favorites: http://www.margrietruurs.com
Her books are outstanding!
Someone wrote in saying they enjoy websites from these authors: "Linda Granfield (author), Martha Newbigging (illustrator), Werner Zimmerman (illustrator and author) and Loris Lesynski (illustrator and author)". Also of interest is a publishing house website called www.tundrabooks.com
A best book called Writer's Market - Where and How to Sell What You Write is available at Barnes and Noble Bookstore.
Another best book is found at http://www.acornpresscanada.com/bubbaex.html
called Bubba Begonia, You'll Be Sorry!
Check it out!

Thanks to all that wrote in, keep it coming!

All the best,
