This month, ReaderKidZ is talking about sports books for the K-5 reader and we’re thrilled to point readers to a terrific Horn Book article by Dean Schneider.

Though not strictly about books for the elementary student,  you’ll notice a mention of this month’s Author-In-Residence, Rich Wallace, as well as other important observations about – to use Schneider’s words – “the power of good writing on subjects kids care about.”
