Carol Hurst's Children's Literature Site - Reviews and teaching ideas for kids' books.

They also feature an extensive collection of ideas for using the literature in many different curriculum areas. Although the site it a little chaotic and has lots of text ads and Amazon links, the large number of well-annotated recommendations, organized by topics, curriculum areas, and authors is worth a visit.
