Video Sunday: The 12 Days of Christmas (Bookstore Style)
Today we are doing one and only ONE video because it was sent to me by approximately 500 people and on the strength of that alone I think it deserves to be our one and only video today. Et voila, Mike Jung and Co.: It’s got a beat and you can dance to it. Good [...]

Meet the Strangest Christmas Picture Book You’ll Ever Love
In the past I’ve done posts about Weirdo Picture Books and others on Out-of-Print Crimes Against Humanity. Today’s featured book could have fallen into both categories, were it not for the fact that there is justice in the universe.

Press Release Fun: The 2014 National Latino Children’s Literature Conference
This was, quite simply, too cool not to promote in some way. It’s precisely touching on a topic we’ve all been discussing for a while. I would kill to go: The University of Alabama School of Library and Information Studies is pleased to announce the 2014 National Latino Children’s Literature Conference to be held in [...]
Review of the Day: Written in Stone by Rosanne Parry
Written in Stone By Rosanne Parry Random House $16.99 ISBN: 978-0-375-86971-6 Ages 9-12 On shelves now Finding books of historical fiction for kids about Native Americans is an oddly limited proposition.
