This is an alphabetized list of all kidlit reviewed during 2022 on Bookworm for Kids. Each title is accompanied by genre, except in the picture books because...well, that's a bit harder in many cases.
Those reads, which we found especially enjoyable/well done/worth taking a peek at, receive a star and might just make it onto my favorite of the year list come December.
Is this still a disastrous mess? You bet it is! But what's life without a pinch of chaos and discovery...and there are tons of books to discover!
New! I've added a Chapter Book section as well as a Graphic Novel one (at the end) for improved ease in finding the types of books you may be looking for!
