Admittedly I’ve been a bad blogger.  How long has it been since I did a Video Sunday?  Well, you can just bet that this one will be extra good to make up for it.

To be perfectly frank, nonfiction book trailers don’t usually look as good as the one I’m about to show you.  When you can find them at all, of course.  Rare little beasties, they are.  This one is for Mary Losure’s Wild Boy, a book that is circulating amazingly well in my system right now!

Speaking of lovely trailers, I couldn’t help but be impressed by this one.  It’s for the lovely fairy tale The Girl of the Wish Garden by Uma Krishnaswami, illustrated by Nasrin Khosravi, and based on Hans Christian Andersen’s Thumbelina.  A prettier book, you could not hope to find.

Who is the patron saint of children’s literature?  To my mind it’s a toss up between Ashley Bryan and LeVar Burton.  Here, LeVar answers questions on CNN.
