Welcome MAME conference-goers! If you are looking for children’s lit news and reviews hidden under the guise of cartoons and sweater jokes, you’re among friends. The question is, how do you like you children’s lit information served? If you’re looking for respectability (kidlit sunny side up), I suggest heading to the *Best New Books* and *Recommended* sections. If you’re looking for the opposite of respectability (kidlit Croissan’wich®), I offer you the Toon Reviews and Controversy Report categories.
Thanks for visiting.
