This is a great site to find a book in just the right category.  It alphabetically lists authors, then gives you a summary of the book, reading level, and rates: swears, violence and content by Essential, Advisory, Optional and NO.  Also if you click the Blog version:

you will get a side list on the right that breaks down every imaginable category of book you would like.

A definite place to check before you go blindly shopping or to the library.

If you love Geronimo and his crazy colorful books, and adventures you have to visit his website.  It has information about the characters and books, as well as games.  You can visit all of his hangouts, his house, the Rodent’s Gazette, Library, Town Hall, Singing Stone Plaza and the Funfair.  Just plain fun!
