I haven’t cross referenced your list with mine, but there might be more to add from my round up of reviews of books on the theme of books/authors/illustrators http://www.playingbythebook.net/2012/11/12/im-looking-for-a-book-about-books-authors-and-illustrators/
Thank you, Zoe. There is a link to another fab list on your post too: http://www.mylittlebookcase.com.au/books/book-list-wonderful-books-about-books/
Great blog! Just found you on Sulia!
Here are some more: Miss Brooks Loves Books (but I Don’t!), Yoko Learns to Read, The Wednesday Surprise, Miss Dorothy and her Bookmobile, Wild About Books!, Library Lion. I know that I know more but that is just off the top of my head.
Oops – I see you already have the last two.
Thanks for such a useful post. I’m going to be using this to help me at work!
I have pinterest pages on reading and libraries which have many other titles.

Thank you kinderbooks. You reminded me I had also started a pinterest on that subject!
Hello,
My name is Tarang and I’m the author of Becoming Beautiful.
Becoming Beautiful is a beautifully crafted picture book that has an empowering message for young girls to develop positive body-image and confidence.
I wrote this book for my daughter originally, but felt the need to share this message with other parents and adults, so we can together raise a generation of strong, independent girls who see their true beauty!
Please support me in this mission to CELEBRATE OUR GIRLS!
I am seeking your kind support in reviewing my book trailer and to help spread the word about the book at-
http://becomingbeautiful.us/
The book is coming to KickStarter soon and I know with your help this message will reach parents and adults who care about their GIRLS!
I am anxiously awaiting your response and collaboration, thank you so so much
Best wishes of the season,
Tarang
