I was surprised, honored, and slightly confused to have recently received the Zombie Chicken award from the delightfully opinionated children’s literature blog Underage Reading. Why confused?

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.

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.

We’re back with the second installment of On Hold @ the Library, my humble attempt to bring you the books that kids are asking for. Each month I vow to show you photographic evidence of the hold shelf at one of the school libraries where I work. Last month we looked at the 5th and […]

When I started this rambling mess of a blog back in the golden days of ’07 I had a strict “No Pets” policy. The problem? I didn’t, and still don’t, have any pets. Really, the “No Pets” decree was just a promise to myself that I would only post items directly related to children’s lit. […]
