Great Books for Kids

I am always searching for new books to excite my students. I see my students for 3 years from grades 3-5. It has been a challenge to find great picture books to excite them each year. I have my favorites that I love to read each year but there is always one student in the bunch that says, "we read that last year." I search the public library and book stores trying to stay current on the latest children's literature, but it is a never ending task. Kid Lit is a great blog that introduces new children's books and gives a summary of the story. This site has helped me to find great new stories to begin reading with the students in my classroom. What resources do you use to stay current with the latest books?
