My 2.5 year old loves rockets and astonauts. Will there be a RACE TO SPACE for the preschool group scheduled?

Is it against AADL policy for AADL employees to review items in the catalogue? I was curious since it's such a common thing in bookstores but I've never seen many reviews of items on the actual items themselves. The closest thing I've seen to it are the blog entries.

@beeniepie - Often the blogs are general summaries or reviews of catalog items (some of those blog posts are also featured as reviews in print -- in [http://www.theannmagazine.com|The Ann].
<br>
<br>
Staff also put together lists of things that they like, too! [http://www.aadl.org/user/lists/public/search/Staff%20Picks|Here's a link to some Staff Pick lists.]
<br>
<br>
I get the feeling you are hungry for more, though? ;)
<br>
<br>
Are you thinking of a *physical* copy of a review adjacent to the book/shelf, like in some bookstores?
