Competency #3

I used www.podscope.com and searched "children's literature". Out of the results, I chose NPR's All Things Considered podcast called "Kid's Books with Lessons for Life". This podcast is great because it includes interviews with people in the children's book industry describing their picks for books to help children. Even better, many of the picks are followed by sample readings by children of the chosen books. At the bottom of the page, NPR lists podcasts that it thinks are also related to children's literature, which makes browsing so easy. I often listen to NPR's All Things Considered, but my commute is only about 30 minutes, so I miss alot. It's great to know that many of their programs are preserved for free playback as podcasts.
