If you’ve got piles of card catalog cards sitting around since the switch to computers, it’s craft time: Card catalog shade. (Thanks to Boing Boing for the link)
I can relate to misspelling. You scanned this blog lately? Once I finally figure out how to consistently spell recieved (or received, or whatever it is) it will be a big, important, memorable day. If you’ve ever watched kids search for books on a computer then you know that things can often get tricky they […]
Back in the Golden Days of Aught Five, I was excited to be starting my first elementary school library job. One of my favorite early discoveries was the web comic Unshelved. It kinda blew my mind when I first saw it. A comic devoted solely to libraries and librarians? Really? My job? Well, I guess […]
Hee-Haw-Dini and the Great Zambini By Kim Kennedy Illustrated by Doug Kennedy Abrams Books for Young Readers ISBN: 9780810970250 $15.95 Grades K-2 In Stores When I was younger I liked magic.

In celebration of Don’t Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus! taking the #5 slot in the Fuse #8 Production Top 100 Picture Books Poll, today’s links are Mo Willems related. It is a humble dream of mine to have a children’s book illustrator create a mural in my school library. I occasionally see this sort […]
I started the *Recommended* and *Best New Books* categories to make things easier for readers and book buyers to find out which titles I think are worth spending their time and money on. I’m a school librarian (or Library/Media Specialist if you’re feeling 21st Century) and I find these sorts of guides helpful when purchasing […]
Max Disaster #1: Alien Eraser to the Rescue By Marissa Moss Candlewick Press ISBN: 9780763644079 $15.99 Grades 2-4 In Stores May 12, 2009 *Recommended* My favorite food may be the Oreo Blizzard. The crushed chocolate cookies are a perfect match to vanilla ice cream. Turn that vanilla into coffee ice cream? Even better. Add some […]
