Welcome to House full of Bookworms!
Whether your child is already an avid reader or you are searching for that special book to spark his/her lifelong love of reading, you’re in the right place. I post new book reviews every month on everything from board books to middle-grade novels.
But I’m also an author myself! Besides having been published in multiple award winning children’s magazines, I have a chapter book for young readers and a picture book as well.
Library's Most Wanted
by Carolyn Leiloglou illustrated by Sara Pogue
Libby longs to be a great librarian like her aunt Nora, and it just chaps her hide when kids vandalize books. She hangs up Wanted posters to drive the “outlaws” from her “territory.” But when she realizes that a librarian’s real job isn’t protecting books but connecting them with readers, she must find a way to lure them back.
Available on Amazon, or your local indie bookstore.
Noah Green Junior Zookeeper and the Garage Sale Pet
by Carolyn Leiloglou illustrated by Jay Guida

he won’t stop growing or making mischief, Noah is left with both a mystery and a dilemma.
Available on Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Clear Fork Publishing, or your local independent bookstore.
