Tagging with librarything.com

There are so many children's books being published now. Are all of them good books? Definitely not! When searching for quality children's literature, one can go to librarything.com to see how others have tagged different books. A tag is a label added by someone to describe the book. I searched for items tagged with children's literature. I found a children's book I highly recommend called The Dot by Peter H. Reynolds. I chose the cloud for this book because it is a great story for a teacher, especially an art teacher, to read aloud to children. I was interested to see if others like the book too. Here is the tag cloud.
