COMING SOON: THE WORLD’S MOST EXPENSIVE CHILDREN’S BOOK?

A rare first edition of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland is going up for auction soon and it might become the most expensive ever. Click here to read.

EATING IN A BOXCAR

Filed away in my mind as “curiosity” are children’s lit cookbooks. “Yes, yes, Nancy Drew can solve a mystery, but what I want to know is, what does she whip up for breakfast when time is tight?” Therefore I enjoyed this post covering the topic.

BETTER BOOK TITLES…

Keeps being funny.

Whoa. If you’re interested in how a picture book is made, don’t miss these two posts by Swatch author/illustrator Julia Denos. Incredibly in-depth and insightful. Man – so cool.

You hear a lot about book awards from the perspective of the authors and illustrators who win and from readers looking to make predictions (see: Calling Caldecott and Heavy Medal). You don’t often hear what book awards are like from the publisher perspective. No more! My friends Ahna and Katherine over at Eerdmans spill the beans in the latest Coffee Break.

    I love clicking through all the headlines you put together!

    Particularly enjoyed the Refinery29 article on eating like your favorite book characters. I remember being so transfixed by the food in Little House on the Prairie–Ma pouring fresh maple syrup onto snow for Christmas candy, mmm. I haven’t read the Boxcar Children in years, but I don’t know if I ever thought through the conundrum of having to cook on a boxcar! I need to give that series a re-read, and soon.

    The Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland manuscript looks incredibly cool, but at the same time, 2 million pounds could put a hefty dent in my TBR list :).
