CAPTAIN COMES TO THE THEATER

CAPTAIN UNDERPANTS: THE FIRST EPIC MOVIE (2017) (L-R) Harold (voiced by Thomas Middleditch), George (voiced by Kevin Hart), Captain Underpants (voiced by Ed Helms)
CAPTAIN UNDERPANTS: THE FIRST EPIC MOVIE (2017)
(L-R) Harold (voiced by Thomas Middleditch), George (voiced by Kevin Hart), Captain Underpants (voiced by Ed Helms)

If you haven’t already seen/read/heard Captain Underpants is coming to the big screen (voiced by Ed Helms – great choice) and Entertainment Weekly has the first look here.

ONE LAST BEST OF 2016 SPECTACULAR!

The Nerdies have been announced.

All The Wonders shared their best of the year lists.

A Fuse #8 Production completed an amazing feat with 31 Days, 31 Lists. I especially like the last one – lots of under the rader choices.

And the Cybils Finalists were announced (winners coming on February 14).

Clayton Byrd Goes Underground by Rita Williams-Garcia. Out May 9, 2017.

Hey, hey! A new Rita Williams-Garcia on the horizon. When I was reading the Edelweiss Key Selling Points for this book, they described Williams-Garcia’s writing as “voicey”. I think that’s a pretty great description. Here’s looking forward to this one.

Every once in a while the US Postal Service will throw us a bone with a children’s literature-related stamp. But these might be the best yet. Thanks @AlisonLMorris for the heads up.

Look what's coming in 2017 – @USPSstamps featuring art from The Snowy Day by Ezra Jack Keats! Fabulous excuse to send more snail mail! pic.twitter.com/zsFRSNYfuD
