Fusenews: Frosted Sheriff is part of a complete balanced breakfast
All right bloggy woggers. Woggy bloggers. Froggy woggy moggy snoggers. I’m having a silly day, it seems. In any case, the time has come once again for folks to apply to be Cybils judges. Basically if you have a blog about children’s or YA books and you’d like to be on a judging panel for [...]

The Complete Listing of All Public Children’s Literature Statues in the United States
Write a title to your blog post like that you are just SETTING YOURSELF UP for trouble. But I like trouble. I eat it for breakfast. Or, at the very least, gnaw on it idly at lunch. In the past I’ve noted each appearance of a statue pertaining to children’s literature when it crops up, [...]

Video Sunday: “You know what? No. I’m not gonna apologize. That cat was delicious.”
We’re a bit booktrailer top heavy this week, but after you see some of the beauties I’ve got lined up I don’t think you’ll mind. Heck, if nothing else this first one will convince you: Why there is not a national alert to tell us when Dan Santat has created a new book trailer, I’ll [...]
The NYPL Exhibit You Won’t Hear as Much About
All the talk in the press and the news recently has concentrated on New York Public Library’s current children’s literary exhibit The ABC of It, as curated by Leonard Marcus. It is, justifiably, remarkable. But exit the exhibit and you’ll find that it’s not the only children’s literary piece going on in the library at [...]

If you have not cast thine eyes upon Christopher Myers’s piece Young Dreamers in which he talks about the Trayvon Martin decision as well as Christopher’s own role in the world of children’s literature and the [...]
Picture Book Occupational Hazards: Zookeepers
