Notes on October 2024

In October . . .
. . . we looked at the most out-there children’s books of 2024.
I love making the list of The Most Astonishingly Unconventional Books.


. . . we made the call for Endies and Undies Award submissions!
The world’s best (and only) endpaper and case cover awards are up and running for 2024 and we need your nominations.
