I'm sitting here laughing my rear off and all because of CNN's latest book reviewer, Andrew Oglesby. Mr. Oglesby on occasions reviews children's books for CNN.com. He is a bit of an expert on these types of books because, well, he's a seven year old.
Now, I'm not sure if I'll be picking up any of the books Mr. Oglesby reviewed. Afterall, I'm, well, a lot older than seven, but he is so dead on good about reviewing them, that I do want to read them.
For example, he writes about 'Let's Go, Pegasus!' by Jean Marzollo and states, "It's a great storybook with nice pictures. But it doesn't teach you anything -- it's just an adventure book."
However; his best line in his reviews has to be this one from his review of 'Wilky the White House Cockroach' by Howie Schneider, "It's a bit made up but some of this could really, really happen." From the mouths of babes.
Check out Mr. Oglesby's reviews at

You won't regret it.
Happy Reading!
