About

Roberta Gibson both a scientist and a writer.  She expresses her scientific side at http://blog.growingwithscience.com.

In November 2008, she was a participant in the National Novel Writing Month, where thousands of writers tried to write 50,000 words in a month. Quite a few succeeded. She did not. One of the reasons may have been that she was having almost as much fun writing a blog about her experiences as actually writing the novel. Check out what she wrote at  My NaNo Writing Blog.
That helped give rise to this blog.

Financial Disclosure:

It is difficult to remain fresh and current when reviewing children’s books without maintaining some contact with publishers and authors. If a publisher or an author provides a review copy of a book for free, I will state that information in the blog post relating to that book.

The affiliate links to Amazon are provided to give the reader easy access to further reviews and additional book information. If you click an Amazon link and purchase a book, I do receive a small percentage of the purchase price as financial compensation. The amount I receive goes towards the price of registering and maintaining the Wrapped In Foil domain. Being an Amazon affiliate does not influence my choice of books to review or how I review them.

I will update this statement as the need arises.

    Hi Roberta.
    Just started with Kidslitosphere and thought to check out the Nonfiction Group with Yahoo! Thanks for posting this and the notification.
    Would it be possible to include my last posting for 14 Cows for America in this list? The link is below. If it doesn’t work that’s ok. I’ll try for next time.
    Thanks for your time.
    Tammy

    Welcome to Nonfiction Monday. 14 Cows was a Cybils finalist for nonfiction picturebook, really a one-of-a-kind book.
