What is Anokaberry Annotated?
Anokaberry posted the Best Books of 2008 for Middle Grade Readers on January 9, 2009. Anokaberry is now Anokaberry Annotated. This new aspect of the blog means an accent, a tone, a personal, distinct voice may surface. This blog continues to present books published in the current year for middle grade readers but will also have editorial comment and attitude. Look for more ordered labeling for the coming year -- most obviously labeling that denotes genre: realistic fiction, historical fiction, science fiction, biography, poetry and verse, folklore/folktale and fantasy. Next January's list will honor books of excellence by genre.

...Due to the length of the musical portions, it is unlikely that children will listen and read simultaneously. It is quite likely, however, that both formats will provide entertainment and enlightenment, in whatever order they are encountered.
...The title is definitely a bit creepy, but I got such a kick out of reading it. If you have ever played an instrument or been in a band/orchestra, then you will appreciate this book. Lots of "grown up" inside jokes. Would not recommend for young children. I'd say it's more of a picture book for adults/teens, but older kids might like it too. Would make a great gift for a musician or a music teacher.
